The launch of this state-of-the-art studio represents the realization of CEO Austin Ogbuefi’s vision to build a world-class creative hub that bridges the gap between African and global talent. Inspired by his connections in Hollywood, where industry friends like TV personality Eleanor Earl and multi-platinum producer Larry Razz encouraged him to bring such a venture to Africa, Ogbuefi set out to create a space that fosters artistic collaboration and elevates local talent. The studio now stands as a testament to his ambition, offering a platform where African artists can collaborate with international creatives and showcase their work on a global stage.
“I wanted to create something extraordinary—a place where Afrobeats and all genres of music could meet world-class production standards,” he posited.

Outfitted with premium equipment imported directly from Los Angeles, it is equipped to handle an array of projects, including music production, film soundtracks, podcasts, and voice-overs. This versatile setup ensures that artists and producers have everything they need to bring their visions to life, making it a go-to destination for quality audio production across multiple mediums.

Complete with a Jacuzzi and private bathroom, the space allows artists to unwind and recharge during long, overnight sessions, ensuring a creative environment that balances hard work with well-deserved comfort.
Austin revealed that Stanford Recording Studios is designed with a global vision, extending beyond the Nigerian market. It’s part of a larger strategy to build bridges and foster international collaborations, creating a space where local and global talents can connect, collaborate, and create groundbreaking projects together. He said as thus..
“We’re building a bridge between Nigeria and Hollywood, and we’ll be launching an exchange program that allows artists from both continents to collaborate. The entertainment industry is becoming increasingly global, and we’re here to facilitate that exchange” .
On the basis of this however, the studio is already setting its sights on expansion, with plans underway to establish a new branch in Atlanta, U.S. This strategic move aims to further strengthen its global presence, creating a transatlantic hub for creative collaboration between African and American artists.
The launch event was a star-studded affair, drawing prominent figures from the Nigerian entertainment scene, including Daniel Etim Effiong, Shawn Faqua, Mimi Orjiekwe, Dr. Eddy Oboh, Felix Ugg Omokhodion, and Ijeoma Richards.
