Our Clients
Tinyade
“Before working with Back Burner Studios, I had a clear vision for my song, but without a proper mix I couldn’t fully hear it, and had a real fear that it might not end up sounding good.
Throughout the mixing process, Robert’s patience stood out to me immediately, which I truly appreciate. His feedback was honest, genuine, and incredibly helpful.
When we started trying different variations of the song, it became clear that my vision was finally coming together.
My song sounds different from how I imagined it would but I like this version maybe even more than what I had in mind! I love listening to it, and the feedback I’ve received from listeners has been overwhelmingly positive!“
– Tinyade Sin’dzaleka

Not only were they incredibly talented and professional, but they also made the whole process so much fun. They were very patient and encouraging, which put us at ease and allowed us to give our best performance during the shoot.
During the editing process we didn’t feel rushed and were able to collaborate on the best takes, resulting with a fantastic music video that exceeded our expectations.
Working with Rob and Alexa was a true pleasure, and we look forward to collaborating with them again in the future. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch, live music-video recording.”
