Hello, WE ARE
UP2STNDRD
Originally established as the Media Arm of UP2STNDRD Recording Studio, our founders identified a notable gap for developing Rap, POP, RnB Talent.
This void stemmed from limited access to quality music-making experience. There are talented producers and writers within these genre’s & our studio has become a trialed and tested place for development.
