EXIT 104 MEDIA

As musicians, we were appalled at the high cost of recording music. Unless Great Uncle Lester died and left you the home place, you have to rob a bank to be able to afford to record – and it’s hard to make music when you’re doing 15 to 20 in the Big House.

We said to ourselves, “this aggression will not stand, man” and created Exit 104 Media. A studio that has up to date equipment, sharp and caring personnel, and a can-do ethic, all to make your musical dreams a reality. At a price you can afford.
