“Vanilla Ice” takes a pic at Power Station Studios with Joyburst that goes viral!

Vanilla Ice a/k/a Rob Van Winkle spent several days here at Power Station Studios recording vocals and was excited to give everyone a chance to try his new energy drink by Joyburst! A cool photo taken ends up on Rolling Stone… (see Vanilla Ice Joyburst Official Music Video Below…) Rob Van Winkle, professionally known as “Vanilla Ice” is undisputedly one of the largest names in music with numerous albums of multiple music genres. Most recognizable with the 1990 release of his multi-platinum album, “To The Extreme.” Rob booked Power Station Studios to work on some upcoming music projects. From the moment Rob walks in the door, the energy in the room rises to “epic” levels. His persona is fun, upbeat, and full of energy. Without a doubt, he is one of the coolest and nicest celebrity artists we’ve had grace the studio doors. Always full of positive energy. As part of his exciting energy, he comes with a handful of these cool-looking energy drinks bearing his name, “Vanilla Ice”. A new flavor from Joyburst. Rob partnered with the natural energy drink brand, “Joyburst” to launch the signature flavor, “Vanilla Ice”. Designed by the legend himself, the drink has the aroma and taste of vanilla combined with the refreshing taste of chilled ice. His excitement made all of us excited to have a taste and he warmingly obliged. All of us in the studio business is no stranger to energy drinks. As a matter of fact, we often times thrive on them to endure the long hours and need to always be on point! The problem is that with many of these types of drinks, there are loads of calories, tons of sugar, and carbs, and sometimes include “suspect” ingredients to promote energy that usually comes to haunt us with the inevitable “crash.” Joyburst is what they call themselves, “The Good-For-You Energy Drink” we’ve all been waiting for. This rings true as you start to read the label. “No Sugar”, “No Calories”, “Natural Caffeine”, and “Low Carbs”. But does it taste good? YES! We were all excited to try the new […]

Artist Deborah Silver enlists the Power Station Studio team to record her 17-piece big band at Criteria Recording Studios

Power Station’s Paul Kronk and Rob Roy engineer Deborah Silver’s amazing production with the legendary Charles Calello and his amazing arrangements and production style! On Thursday, June 9th, renowned artist, Deborah Silver commissioned some of the best in the business to perform on her upcoming recording project produced and arranged by the legendary Charles Calello. Proud to be a part of this amazing group of people to engineer the production were Power Station Studio’s own Paul Kronk and Rob Roy. Deborah Silver, who is a regular Power Station client and a warm part of our studio family asked if we would be the engineering team to come to Criteria Recording Studios in Miami to make this record the best-in-class sounding production ever! Somce our Power Station Studios is so busy with our productions, we don’t typically do outside sessions. However, Criteria Studio’s extra-large Studio A live room gave this production the ability to record the entire production of trombones, trumpets, saxes, piano, upright bass, guitar, and drums all “Live” at the same time. There’s is something special when an entire big band orchestra is all performing together in the same room to record the tracks. Being that Deborah is one of our great friends and having the legendary Charles Calello who also is a dear part of the Power Station family, no engineer in their right mind would pass on an opportunity to work on a project of this nature. From setup to the downbeat, to the final note, this was a recording session straight out of a book of fairytales. Modern audio engineers only dream to be on studio dates such as this one. This dream begins with an amazing artist. Deborah Silver is not only an amazing singer and performer, she is a seasoned pro at the highest levels of the business. Not to mention, she is such a great artist to work with. Her positivity and energy keep the momentum moving in the most positive of ways. Next, the sonic dream continues with amazing arrangements. Charles Calello’s discography includes more than 100 “Billboard Chart” records and more […]
