Hello, Pacific and Mission Beach!

Did you know there’s an inconspicuous recording studio tucked into a strip mall in Pacific Beach? Right near the ocean, The Music Company has been helping local artists launch their careers since 2023. Walk by, and you might never guess there’s a musical playground hiding inside.

The Music Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional music studio located in the Promenade in Pacific Beach. The space includes three recording studios, a large rehearsal space, on-staff audio engineers and a vibrant community of musicians and music lovers. It’s a one-stop shop for anyone who loves music, whether you’re building a career or exploring music as a creative outlet.

What sets The Music Company apart is accessibility. Rentals start at just $25, a fraction of what other studios typically charge. And the space has woven itself into the fabric of the beach community, partnering with local organizations to make music accessible to everyone.

I had the privilege of interviewing The Music Company’s founders for Times of San Diego. You can read the article here, and check out the space for yourself on their website.

We’re lucky to live in a community that shows up for art and culture this way, and even luckier that gems like TMC are out there waiting to be discovered.

Until next week!
