"Not only is Matt an incredible songwriter, most importantly he is a great collaborator. He is always able to bring a style that compliments the vision of my short films and commercials."

- Spenser Sakurai (Cinematographer and filmmaker)

“I have utilized Shmoe Recording Services for several music editing projects for dance.  Matt has been so easy to work with, even across the country, I can communicate what I need done, and he gets it right every time.  He creates smooth, seamless edits, has creative ideas, and is a pleasure to work with.”

- Sandi S. (Choreographer)

"The Shmoe studio was very impressive... Matt was very professional and took his time guiding me through the recording process. The equipment used along with Matt’s expertise produced a spectacular radio commercial recording. I highly recommend Shmoe Creative's recording services for all your recording needs."

- Daniel G.

"I would highly recommend the Shmoe Creative team. Matt's production style is extremely supportive.  His vast knowledge of production, keen ability at creating hooks, and skills as a multi-instrumentalist are at your fingertips but it is your artistic vision that he aims to execute. When he produced my album I felt extremely comfortable which allowed me to take risks creatively but I also knew that he would give me honest, constructive feedback that would keep my sonic landscape clean and uncluttered.    

Sephra is a world class musician and if I could I would feature her on every album. She has the skill to thrive in any musical environment. Her voice is velvet and her ear is razor sharp.  

If you want to take your project to the next level, the Shmoe Creative team has the tools to make it happen."

Testimonials

"In my time taking voice lessons with Sephra I not only grew as a vocalist, but as an artist. I didn't think there was much more I could learn technique-wise, but Sephra proved me wrong. With the skills Sephra taught me, I can now make it through a 2+ hour set without losing my voice or being in vocal pain. She taught me how to sing healthily, which has made all the difference in my vocal performance and practice. Along with those technical skills, she helped me find my voice and discover who I want to be as an artist. Her lessons pushed me outside of my comfort zone, which led to me growing and becoming a well-rounded artist. My lessons with Sephra were instrumental in defining the singer and artist I am today, and she will always be my go-to with any vocal or music-related questions I have!"

-Ciara Brooke

"Taking vocal lessons from Sephra was one of the best things I’ve done for my music career. She is gifted both as a singer and teacher and does an amazing job helping vocalists reach their full potential. She helped me go from inconsistent and unsure to having a strong and confident voice. If you want to take your vocal game to the next level, learn from Sephra!" 

-Grant Adams

"I have taken voice lessons for 7 years before taking with Sephra and I have learned the most just in the short semester with Sephra. Not only does she explain things easily enough where you understand exactly what she wants you to do, if you don’t get it right away, she breaks it down even more for you to understand. Also, I have never had a voice lessons teacher tell me the technical side of what I am doing. It’s very helpful to know how you sing so you can improve it for the future. Sephra taught me so much just in one semester and I am forever grateful for that!"

-Katie Vrana

“Sephra is an amazing teacher. She provides a relaxed environment in her lessons, which helped me feel at ease and able to step outside of my comfort zone while learning. I found a vast improvement in my singing after only taking her lessons for a couple of months!”

"Matt and Sephra at Shmoe Records made my first professional recording experience both memorable and comfortable. Professional recording services can be intimidating, but you leave Shmoe Records feeling like you’ve gained life-long friends who genuinely care about your project and its success. Their attention to detail and creative input helped bring my music to life in exciting, new ways, and we had so much fun while collaborating. Throughout the process, communication lines were kept open and honest; everything was clearly laid out so that I knew what I was getting into. I would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone looking to break into the music scene! They’re down-to-earth, full of passion, and affordable. I always tell fans that my time recording here is one of my top ten moments. Would do it again in a heartbeat!"

- Noah Martin

Working with Shmoe has been an incredible experience. As a new artist who has never recorded before, Shmoe really helped me shape my sound and define me as a musician. They’re the most warm and caring group of people you could ever work with. I’m very happy to be a part of the Shmoe family. 

- Caleb Starr

"Working with Matt, Sephra & Casio (their dog), was an awesome experience! The studio is a chill environment, that can be adapted to fit the needs of any artist. Matt & Sephra aren’t afraid to push when necessary to pull out the best in artists & also know how to step back & let the artist explore other methods even when that requires a straight 12 hours in the studio. Their combined experience & knowledge guarantees no shortage of ideas & experimentation & working with them is sure to increase your own personal knowledge & experience."

- Megan Rae
