HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY
Karisma Recording Studio was designed by songwriter and studio founder Ian Coats in 2008, in collaboration with renowned acoustic engineer, Chris Morton, and ëwiredí by highly regarded audio technician Rob Squire. As a Psychologist, Ian originally decided to build the studio so that he could record his back catalogue of original songs (he had been a long-term songwriter and previously a professional musician in America). He also hoped to establish a creative musical environment for other musicians and songwriters. Karisma (meaning gift or talent) has gradually evolved into a working commercial studio where a range of engineers and producers combine with talented musicians and songwriters in a variety of creative projects.
