Undercity Recordings is a very private recording/production facility conveniently located in the heart of the media land better known as North Hollywood, CA. Founded in 1996 by independent producer and A&R Baron Bodnar, Undercity has been the link to several major label successes and even more indie "ahead of the curve" artists that we will continue to hear about well into the decade. At Undercity, our philosophy is to cater to the artist and the producer by providing that certain vibe that is needed to write and capture the music that comes from their soul and transcribe that feeling onto tape. We are not a studio that has lots of runners and fancy cheese platters, we are a studio that provides a private working atmosphere and a compound to create and take the time to create.
