Music producers Nicholas Sonuga and Amin Hamzianpour have today (December 13) announced they are to open The Qube – a first of its kind venue and community for music professionals to connect and collaborate.
The flagship West London venue is a 22,000 square-foot premise designed by Munro Acoustics, featuring 30 state of the art soundproofed recording studios, breakout spaces and a tranquil garden terrace is due to open in January 2020.
An official press release also confirmed that the space – described as “a sanctuary for London’s most inspired musicians, artists, managers, labels, and creators” – will also play host to music events, as well as regular industry panels.
Application for membership launches today at www.theqube.com - starting from £100/month. Its founding members include Emmy nominated actor and musician Riz Ahmed, Krept & Konan, Rudimental’s Amir Amor, Mixcloud co-founder Nikhil Shah, as well as leading music companies First Access Entertainment, IE:Music and Concord Music.
Speaking about the launch, Amin Hamzianpour, co-founder of the Qube, said: “Working as a music producer for the past five years, I have struggled tirelessly to find flexible and professional studio space with a real sense of community. Most creators are facing this same battle; artists, podcasters, songwriters, photographers, YouTubers, video editors, directors working from home or in dingy basement studios feeling isolated, with no real sense of belonging. We’ve set out to bridge that gap with the Qube; a home for a new generation of creators to connect, collaborate and most importantly, feel inspired to create their best work.”
Amir Amor, record producer, musician, singer, songwriter, and Rudimental band member, added: "We’re a very busy band, making music, touring and running our record label, so the Qube is great for us as it’s flexible and its facilities are to a very high standard. We collaborate a lot and often need creative spaces for the artists on our label, so having access to a range of writing rooms and studios lends the ideal environment to the creative process. There’s already a great ecosystem of other talented writers and producers involved, so it’s going to be a really vibrant creative environment.”
