studio

Sparkletune.com was launched in mid 2009 to provide artist development services, composition and production services. After running a successful recording/multimedia studio for 13 years and working with some great talents we have decided to devote less time to hourly recording and more time to developing talent, fine-tuning artist's creative and business development, and slowly growing their careers over several album releases.
