A STUDIO BUILT BY A MUSICIAN

Mike is a working musician, bringing an artist’s perspective into every part of the creative process — from the first demo through final master using hand picked high end analog and digital equipment.

That approach creates sessions that feel collaborative, relaxed, and focused on results — not pressure.

WHY LEFT OF CENTER?

In 2014, Mike stepped away from a successful corporate career to fully commit to music — choosing creative fulfillment over convention.

That decision became the foundation of the studio.

Create music with purpose, passion, and authenticity.

This philosophy is why many artists return for multiple projects.

 


 

ARTIST PERSPECTIVE

Mike is also the creative force behind the prog-ternative pop rock project Everyday Dolores.

All Everyday Dolores music is written, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered entirely in-house at Left of Center Music — keeping the studio grounded in real-world creative demands.
