STUDIO 54
A hive of creativity and music in
Exeter’s city centre
MEET OUR STUDIO MANAGER, BENNY G!
Benny G has been producing music for over ten years, running Exeter's Studio 54 for the past five. In that time he's worked & learned with some of the best - John Cornfield (Muse, Oasis), Charlie Francis (REM, Toyah Willcox), Chris Sheldon (Biffy Clyro, Feeder) & Phil Johnstone (Robert Plant, The Levellers). Ben's productions have been played on Radio 1, 2, 4 & 6, featured on CBBC, Comedy Central & stadiums around the UK.
If he's not in the studio you'll find him on the stage, playing bass with Pattern Pusher or helping another band out with his multi-instrumental skills.
Our High Street premises is home to our state-of-the-art recording studio, the Phil Johnstone Suite.
Record, mix and master your music in this modern, creative space right in the heart of Exeter's vibrant City Centre. Featuring two sound-treated live rooms, a large control room, and dedicated service from our Studio Manager, Benny G, this is the studio to make your music come alive.
