Today we’d like to introduce you to Augie Ray.
Augie, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Bio- AUGIE RAY: Grammy Award-winning producer Augie Ray’s story began in the suburbs of Northridge, California where he grew up playing both trumpet and piano. A neighbor in the music business recognized his talent and eventually gave Augie access to his home studio. By the age of 18, he began working under fellow Grammy Award-winning producer/ musician Warryn Campbell. Since then, Augie has worked with artists such as Rihanna, Julia Michaels, Anne-Marie, Sir Elton John, Max Frost, Bea Miller, Raye, and DJ Mustard Augie’s sound derives from the roots of Hip-Hop, Rhythm & Blues, and Pop. By encompassing elements from each genre, he curates his own formula for music that is pleasing to an array of listeners.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The Road has not been as smooth as I would want. Starting a business is extremely hard there is a lot of learning and work that goes into creating a studio that will differ from the others. One difficult thing is creating a membership system for my clients. I wanted to take a different approach to the modern studio and give my clients the freedom to not be pressured by an hourly rate. It’s been hard to establish pricing and the types of clients I want to have at Hype Studios LA.
Please tell us about your business.
