Thanks to the help of a few of PMI’s finest, Official Sound Studios is the newest division to our already multifaceted facility. From the hours of 7 PM to 7 AM, PMI has become the new hot spot for local artists who want to use the audio suites for recording, mixing, and mastering their music. While music recording is the main focus for OSS, we have also been able to help our clients in other aspects, such as producing music videos, staging still photo shoots for social media promotion, and creating a music countdown television series right here in our facility.

Samantha DeFazio, a tape librarian for PMI’s syndication department, is also the Director of Business Development for OSS, and has been working around-the-clock to expand the customer base of one of the most efficient recording studios in downtown Pittsburgh.

I remember the day Sam approached me and said, “Gill, I just proposed an idea to The Davids (Case and Hartman) about offering our recording studios at night. They said yes—and now it looks like I’m going to start a new division.” My first thought was, is she serious?! Not only was she serious, but since that moment she has not stopped working towards her dream. I have been honored to be working beside her day and night while she tackles one task after another. Sometimes when it seems like the curve balls will never stop coming, Sam and her OSS crew refuse to quit, and are consistently satisfying requests from clients that we didn’t even know were possible—hitting all of those balls out of the park.

1st String, our biggest client at the moment, is a rap group signed with the Desert Storm record label. They currently utilize our facilities for recording their music while using their own engineer who has been producing music in Pittsburgh for several years. OSS was even able to provide them with two recent photo shoots, in addition to filming a documentary about their everyday lives as they travel the road to success.

After the early success of OSS, we decided to put together a production team to write, produce, shoot, and edit a 30-second spot. Our commercial was created so existing and future clients are aware of the complete range of capabilities within our facilities. (The link at the bottom of this blog will take you directly to that commercial on the web.) In addition to our commercial, please check us out on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and coming soon, OfficialSoundStudios.com.

Whether you would like to use our recording studios, our engineers, rent our stage for video production or photography gigs—once you step foot inside our building, the possibilities are endless. On behalf of Sam and all the OSS crew members, we would like to thank everyone at PMI for all their time, effort, patience, and guidance, as we branch out and try something new. And most importantly, thanks to our clients for their immediate acceptance of – and excitement about – the launch of Official Sound Studios, here in Pittsburgh and around the country.

We’re confident that you’ll enjoy our commercial. Feel free to contact Sam or me with any questions, if you would like a tour, or better yet, to book your next session.
