Our Story
Ambitious Music began as an idea in a Queens, New York apartment between two friends with a shared desire to empower aspiring artists. Both teachers, they realized that implementing this idea large-scale required providing educators with the best possible resources for their students to thrive not only as musicians, but as self-produced artists. They also realized that not all recording artists are learning in a school setting and wanted to build something accessible to all yet tailored to the needs of each client.
Thus, Ambitious Music was born.
In an age where many popular artists are recording at home—and even winning Grammys with those home recordings (think Billie Eilish)—it is increasingly obvious that having an intimate understanding of music technology, and the right tools for the job, are critical pillars for the next generation of musicians. These pillars hold not only the potential to expand one's artistry and creative freedom, but will likely play a significant role in one’s commercial success as a 21st century artist.
Our goal is simple: to help elevate your sound, no matter your experience. Whether you are a new artist looking to have your recordings professionally mixed, a teacher looking to develop lessons that are engaging and relevant, or a music student looking for help building your first home studio, we are here for you.
