Birth of a Tropical Studio Production & a New Music Channel
For over six years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a sound man for Margaritaville Resort in South Florida, surrounded in a tropical setting with three distinct stages: inside the vibrant restaurant, along the picturesque intercoastal canal, and on the infamous beach bandshell. Yet, amidst the routine at my paradise, a new excitement began to take root and blossom: The idea of creating a platform where musicians could play their music live, be captured and recorded professionally, and made available for a wide audience to connect with anywhere and anytime. This dream led me to envision a unique stage, in a visually stunning setting for musical magic to unfold.
The vision is now coming to life. Nestled between two palm trees, with a lake view as the backdrop, my friends and I constructed a deck for a stage. One of these friends is a talented musician in his own right—Marcus Amaya, a multi-instrumentalist I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years. Together with the encouragement and inspiration of many other artists, we’re building more than just a stage; we’re building a community.
To bring you closer to the performances, we are collaborating with a team of skilled videographers who share my passion for capturing the essence of live music. Their expertise will ensure that every performance is not only heard but seen in all its vibrant detail, creating an immersive experience for our audience.
Looking to the future, I envision expanding this production beyond a deck. The goal is to grow and take this unique blend of music and ambiance to venues, festivals, and other music dwelling spots. By doing so, we can bring this experience to a broader audience, offering live performances that capture the spirit wherever we go.
With the collaborative effort of the production team, we plan to provide a highly influential and well-known music channel that brings the magic of live performances to viewers around the world. We’re creating a space to showcase unique talent and build a playlist of music that can be enjoyed easily via YouTube and social media platforms.
