Endorse Tom Fritze

by Heatcliff
Been working with the LoLA Team and can only state and confirm their professionalism and positive personal attitude. Also exceptionally located (10 mins from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 10 mins to Universal City). Kudos to Tom, Jes and Richard, if you need vocal recording, songwriting, mixing or anything else - you'll be in good hands.
by Gabe Lehner
I've had the pleasure of producing some vocal sessions and doing some mixing here, and LoLA studio is amazing! It has everything you need to make or mix a record, including beautiful instruments, synths, and legendary outboard gear and analog consoles. Aesthetically it's inspiring and beautiful. Also the main guys there, Tom and Richard, have a ridiculous wealth of experience and knowledge.
