SUNDAY, August 18 — Need a new place to record all of those songs you’ve been writing? Well, fret no more as San Diego now has a brand new, fully functional studio ready for new clientele; IACON Sound Studio in Golden Hills.
Named after the headquarters of the Transformers (the comic series), and owned by Frank Torres and Sulo King, IACON (formerly known as Black Box Studios by previous ownership) caters to all styles of musicianship from rock to jazz to funk to hip-hop, and everything in between.
Sunday’s launch party brought out a variety of patrons in droves to help celebrate the studio’s opening.
“[Today’s event] is just about letting the community know that if they need an alternative to the resources that they have, as far as recording goes, they can come here [to IACON Studios],” said drummer and member of IACON’s marketing team ,Carleton E. Overstreet Jr.
Guests were afforded the opportunity to see a few different bands play, and record, live. They were obviously pleased as the sound of applause rang like thunder throughout the studio’s hallways. They were excited about the opening as well.
“I think that [the studio] brings a bunch of different sets of people together. It’s good to come to a place where you can be involved with so many artists, and so much raw talent…I’m having a blast.” said Sean Slaughter, a guest and friend of Overstreet.
Some guests were focused on the good vibes in the air and how it would affect the city as a whole. “[The studio] is going to tie [San Diego] together. It’s an available place 
for a non-negative congregation of San Diego artists,” said Zack Jones Jr., childhood friend of Overstreet.
The ambiance of the event was nothing short of positive in every way. IACON is definitely on its way to making a monumental mark on San Diego’s music scene.
IACON Sound Studio is located at 2469 Broadway (rear entrance), San Diego, CA 92102. For more information about their services and equipment, visit www.iaconsound.com or their Facebook Fan Page at www.facebook.com/iaconsound.
