Our Story: Crafting Sound in Austin

EchoSound Studios was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to provide Austin's vibrant music community with a world-class recording facility that combines cutting-edge technology with a deeply personal touch. Founded in 2018 by Marcus Holloway, a seasoned audio engineer with over 15 years of experience, the studio began as a humble project in a converted warehouse space in South Austin. Marcus, a Berklee College of Music graduate, had a dream of creating a space where artists could feel comfortable, inspired, and empowered to bring their sonic visions to life.

In the early days, EchoSound Studios was a one-man operation. Marcus poured his heart and soul into building the studio from the ground up, meticulously selecting equipment, designing the acoustics, and cultivating a welcoming atmosphere. He started by working with local indie bands and singer-songwriters, helping them to record demos and EPs. Word quickly spread about the quality of his work and his dedication to his clients. Artists appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile, his creative input, and his genuine passion for music.

As EchoSound Studios' reputation grew, so did its capabilities. Marcus invested in more sophisticated equipment, including a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 console and a Pro Tools HDX system. He also expanded the studio's staff, bringing in talented engineers and producers who shared his vision. The studio soon began attracting a wider range of clients, from established artists to up-and-coming musicians across various genres, including rock, country, hip-hop, and electronic music.

Today, EchoSound Studios stands as a testament to Marcus Holloway's original vision. The studio has become a cornerstone of Austin's music scene, known for its exceptional sound quality, its state-of-the-art facilities, and its commitment to artist development. EchoSound Studios continues to evolve and innovate, always striving to provide its clients with the best possible recording experience.
