Have you ever wanted to start your own recording studio? One where you can pick all your favourite gear, get the mood just right and work with artists you truly believe in too? Well, that’s exactly what this week’s guest, Majelen, did with her fiance Courtney… during lockdown… while they already have two other businesses! #lifegoals. But, as you’ll hear when Isobel sits down with the musician and producer, Majelen has a DIY ethos that is only surpassed by her passion to make women feel more confident, safe and welcome in the studio.
