THE SAUNA STUDIO "WHERE WE MAKE THAT HEAT"

The studio is less like work and more like fun. We actually enjoy what we do. The perfect job is doing what you enjoy and getting paid for it. Even on vacation we still work! We cant help it, either jotting down ideas in the CrackBerry, or humming melodies and singing hooks in mini recorders. Never forget a great idea, have a way to remember it so we can lay down when we get back. Inspiration can strike at anytime. It is incredible to have your own lab and be able to record great ideas while they are fresh and vibrant.

BIO:

UGLY began producing in response to their rap group, formerly tagged, G.A.M.E, needing a distinctive sound to echo & capture their unique style. UGLY had no formal musical background or training at the time, but rose to the challenge posed to them by their brother & mentor, the inspiration of the group, aka Plaboy. Equipped with a desire to succeed, they quickly developed a signature sound that transposes the elements & captured the attention of fans, producers, musicians & enterrtainers throughout the U.S. & abroad with ease. Now, coming into their own & being widely sought by indie & signed artists, as well as established producers, to lend their expertise to many projects from album recordings, to commercials, to movie soundtracks. They are not afraid to be innovators & utilize multiple sounds that others have yet to embrace to create their music. They receive constant inspiration from life, its experiences - trials & triumphs. UGLY allows their collective emotions to embark upon a journey through their music delivering compilation after compilation with ease, thus having created an extensive library which is still growing daily as they continue exploring the magic of sound & all that it encompasses.
