Katie Tucker
Let me introduce myself: I’m Katie Tucker, and I own Sharp Edges Records. 👋
I first opened Sharp Edges Records recording studio to offer my artist clients a space for us to create. However, as time went on and I heard more experiences shared by artists and even engineers, I realized how important it was to offer this studio as a safe space for anyone to create.
I also wanted to start offering my expertise and network to other artists. I’ve been vocal producing, coaching, and writing music for nearly a decade. My music has been featured in many shows and streaming platforms, and one of the songs I wrote even went Double-Platinum. However, this success wasn’t without its hardships, some of which involved uncomfortable situations I never should have gone through in the first place.
I’m tired of recording studios being one of the worst places to be as a woman when they should be spaces where everyone feels at ease, inspired, and safe. I’m here to be a part of that change.
If you’re looking to work on new music in an inspiring, safe space and want someone with you throughout that process, book a session with me ✨ or with some of the amazing engineers we have to offer.
Together, we can make a difference in the music industry. One session at a time.
