The One With Genuine Reference Studios

Musicians and artists are an important part to a music scene, however, without the recording studios who help bring their songs to life and aid with artistic development, the songs would turn out differently or come to life at all. This episode hosts Daisy Morales and Tony Piña speak with Genuine Reference Studios about how they help artists grow their sound and performances plus what goes into the production process behind the music. Featured bands for this week are Jamal Streeter, Paris, Sunihateyou, Scairat, Texas Hart, Aquiles Moon, Saving Bandit, Pie Sisters, Jane Like Fire, Planet I Love You, and Palmer.

This program originally aired on March 20, 2026.
