Why record here?

Louisiana is known as the birthplace of Jazz and is home to numerous Grammy award winners and nominees: past, present and future. The state’s renowned creative culture has nurtured legendary recordings artists — including Dr. John, Sean Ardoin, Rebirth Brass Jazz Band, Kenny Neal, Givers, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Terrance Simien, James Booker, Percy Sledge, John Fred, Jerry Lee Lewis, PJ Morton, Harry Connick, Jr., Jon Batiste — and even inspired entire genres like swamp pop and zydeco. State-of-the-art recording studios, a unique production rebate and highly skilled studio musicians and engineers create an unrivaled opportunity for success in sound recording in Louisiana.

Since the launch of the music incentive program, the state’s already-established production industry has grown at a rapid pace. New and expanding recording studios and world-class musicians, engineers and other recording industry professionals now call Louisiana home.

Complementing the film industry in Louisiana, film scoring is quickly becoming an important part of the music production mix in the state.
