Lion Studios

Lion Studios was set-up by Gramophone in 1958, and made popular by PolyGram Records in 1980 to serve the needs of the company's regional production projects. During the PolyGram era, we have worked with artists such as Teresa Teng, Alan Tam (Hong Kong), Tracy Huang (Singapore/Taiwan), "Search", "Headwind", M. In 1990, the studio went independent. We established our Mastering Suite. Over the years,

it became renowned throughout the region with productions coming to us for that final polish from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia & of course, Singapore. Projects entrusted to us include albums by "Funk Section" & "Andre Hehanusa" (Indonesia), "Nittaya" (Thailand) as well as "Kit Chan" from Singapore. And we expanded our client base to include artists from all major labels, from around the region, and around the world. Today, artists and producers come to us not only from Singapore, but also from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and Australia, as well as from Europe and the USA. With acoustics by world-renowned studio architect Jeff Cooper, our Studio 1 has gained a world wide reputation as a first class 'live' recording facility across all genres of music. Divided into three sections for different acoustic treatments, every curve and angle in the studio is intentionally designed to deliver sonic perfection. As well as the artists listed above, Lion Studios hosted Jazz stalwarts Charlie Haden, Al Foster, Emily Saxe, Grammy award winners Ernie Watts & Bob James, Greg Chako & Ernie Ranglin (both guitarists) from the USA. as well as vocalist Yvonne Walter & Baritone Saxophonist Pim Dijkstra from Europe and pianist Bubi Chen from Indonesia. Singapore's well-known jazz musician Jeremy Monteiro has recorded at least a dozen of his albums at Lion Studios in addition to playing session piano on many of the pop albums recorded here by artists like Teresa Teng, Tracy Huang, The Alleycats, Headwind and M.Nasir. Among the many Classical music artists who have put their trust in us are Swiss composer Heinrich Schweizer, Singapore based composer conductor & educator Dr Robert Casteels, The National Youth Orchestra of Singapore, The Symphonic Wind Orchestra, The New Festival Orchestra, concert pianist Tedd Joselson, Guitarists Hucky Eichelmann and Guiliano Belotti, and the Singapore combination known as "Emis IV". Not to forget Singapore's own piano prodigy Clare Yeo.
