We are a non-profit professional recording studio.
In addition, we offer supplemental services in audio, video and live sound while providing job training to youth.
We are open to everyone in the community; all ages, all schools; and all types of music.

Brenda opened the studio to work with teens and record their music; that was the start of Modesto Sound.
Her vision grew to encompass our current mission statement: Empower youth to create music and artistic media through access to internships, industry experts, and professional equipment, and to become mentors to other youth.
Our Board of Directors meets monthly to help steer the way. They came up with many great ideas like having Youth Job Training and Recording Arts Camps! |
