Nova Studio in Kwale Town stands out not just for its exceptional music recording capabilities but also for its rich history and familial ties. Unlike many conventional recording studios that may lack personality, Nova Studio is a home in the truest sense, having been the cherished abode of my family since its inception.
The story of Nova Studio’s establishment is as unique as its ambiance. Once upon a time, Vina Records reigned supreme as the only recording studio in the northern region of Kwale. However, its expensive rates made it inaccessible to many aspiring musicians. Recognizing this gap and fueled by a spirit of innovation and camaraderie, my parents and a group of like-minded hippy friends, including the legendary Salavesca, embarked on a mission to create an affordable and welcoming alternative. Within a mere six months, Nova Studio was born, providing a sanctuary for touring musicians who journeyed from Nairobi, Malindi, and Mombasa to record their musical masterpieces.
From its humble beginnings, Nova Studio has evolved and expanded, yet it has retained its intimate and familial atmosphere. Over the years, it has become a favorite destination for a diverse array of talents, from rappers to vocalists, who are drawn to its authentic charm and top-notch facilities. The studio is now home to some of the best local musicians and producers who are passionate about nurturing and showcasing talent.
What truly sets Nova Studio apart is the love and appreciation it garners from the artists who grace its doors. Many musicians have been so inspired by their experiences here that they have named their albums after the studio itself, a testament to the profound impact Nova has had on their creative journey.
Despite its rustic and charming exterior, Nova Studio is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and technology. The studio loft houses a vast array of instruments, preamps, digital recording equipment, and vintage microphones, all meticulously curated over the years since its inception in 2018. This ever-growing collection ensures that musicians have access to everything they need to bring their vision to life.
