Bird Cloud Recording

About Me

My name is Ryan Wasoba and I love making records. I'm a local musician and am beginning the process of being a producer/engineer. Bird Cloud Studio is the name of my home studio in Edwardsville, IL (25 minutes away from downtown St. Louis).
I believe there is a void in St. Louis for studios that cater to the type of creative bands the city has been producing lately. The average St. Louis musician is broke, and can't afford to pay the high rates for a studio whose cost is brought up by features your band doesn't need. My goal with Bird Cloud is to provide honest recordings for local artists at very reasonable prices.
I am currently booking sessions for September - November. Send me a message or email [email protected] for questions, comments, or to book dates.
