Studio A

Studio A features Lion Share’s largest tracking room, ideal for live tracking, production, overdubs, and mixing. Quietly tucked away off Beverly Boulevard, it’s a playground of classic synths and instruments with space to create.

Historic Studio A served as the creative incubator for USA for Africa’s 'We Are the World’ hosting the original writing and instrumental tracking sessions, followed by the project's critical overdubs and final mixes with Quincy Jones and Humberto Gatica.

Studio A has since welcomed legends such as Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, and Stevie Nicks, alongside contemporary artists such as André 3000, Post Malone, Anderson Paak, Frank Ocean, Playboi Carti, Giselle, Junior H, Alissia, and Leon Thomas.
