We had the good fortune of connecting with IRKO and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi IRKO, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I set out my goal to deliver top notch audio engineering services for producers, artists, musicians and the like. Specifically the thought process is to deliver top of the line mixes to the music I choose to work on. I spend a lot of time on each song I work on and I maximize every aspect of its dynamics, I make the producers shine and the artist sound like platinum acts!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
The early years were very difficult, you know, relocating from a far tiny town to Los Angeles was definitely hard. On top of that building an entire building to spec, that was a huge challenge, but now I have the best recording studio ever and I get to work in it every day!
StudioBeat3 is a magical place, you can feel it as soon as you walk in, this place was made for a specific task: mixing. Last time we did some rough math I think we were close to 10 billion streams total for music I have mixed here. Not bad for an immigrant!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would drive Pacific Coast Highway in my 1965 Cadillac with the windows down, then cruise Beverly Hills, probably hit Hollywood too and if it’s a friday I’d go to Bob’s Big Boy for a little car show.
Or maybe I would take them out in my 1981 DeLorean and hit Old Town Pasadena and the Gamble House…

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My success is directly correlated to that of the producers and artists I work with, incredible talent!
B-Money and 88-Keys definitely deserve a shoutout because they helped me a lot, specially in the early years
