I had a number of sessions recording and mixing in what became Alicia's studio (from the outside it's just a large house in Glen Cove, Long Island) prior to her buying it - it was then owned by Fred Guarino and run under the name "Tiki Recording". Alicia bought the facility - which already sounded quite good - and converted one of the floors which had studio's B & C to residences and then revamped studio A to make it even better (including bringing in an SSL Duality console).

Best regards,

Interesting. I did a couple of recordings at Tiki myself in my New York years. Yes, calling Alicia Keys' studio a "project studio" is like calling Bill Gates a "self-made man."
