For us, its always been about doing what we love, and joyfully making the impossible possible. We became fast friends while getting our BFA's in music at York University - leaving CD copies of our songs anonymously on campus newsstands & between library books. Involved in copious creative projects while also balancing it with professional development, it became clear to us with diligence, fun, and integrity, anything was possible.

It was only a matter of time before we took on our biggest challenge yet: To fund, create, and design a top-tier professional recording studio... By our mid-twenties... on artist salaries!

And lo and behold - after a two-year roller-coaster ride, Silverthorn Studios opened its doors. In its short lifespan so far, we've had celebrity drop-ins, worked with legendary Grammy-winning producers, Emmy-winning casting directors, and created dream projects. But most of all, we've got to turn this space into a place where history can get made, for all kinds of creative folks. A place we hope will become a Toronto historical landmark in the years to come for its contributions to art & culture. As we've seen, it pays to dream big.

Silverthorn Studio was built with an extensive team of experts and studio technicians to exacting detail. Built under seemingly impossible circumstances, Silverthorn is the place for making your dream projects possible.
