Jonathan played in seveal bands during the 80s culminating with indie band City Arabs winning battle of the bands in 1990. A frustrated songwriter Jon left the band in 1992 and spent time in the US writing songs for his first solo album. Returning to the UK he deviced a one man show entitled Take a Deep Breath. During the recording process of the album based on the the show, Jon realised that in order to get the results he wanted he needed to learn more about production. This led him to move to Newcastle in 1996 studying Music Production at The John Marley Centre for Performing Arts graduating with distinction in 1998.

In the early days the studio was located in central Cardiff , but after stuggling to 'edit out' the noise of several FA cup finals they decided to relocate to the peace and tranquility of the upper Rhondda - right on the edge of the Breacon Beacons national park.
