Heffner Studio, our state-of-the-art audio and digital production lab opened in 2019. The studio is a hub for audio and digital creation. Equipped with the latest gear, professional-grade peripherals and talented staff, like Sukh, who are available to support your goals.
Heffner Studio is open to everyone, and the team works to support anyone who comes into the studio whether you are just starting out in digital creation or an accomplished performer.
Sukh went to school for Music Industry Arts and Audio Post-Production and when he’s not at the library he enjoys performing as a hip hop and spoken word artist. Sukh joined the Heffner Studio team in 2021 and he was drawn to this role because he wanted to give back to the community. As a Heffner Studio Associate, he is able to provide guidance and support for the next generation of artists.
“Having the opportunity to act as a mentor for new artists, in a free and welcoming space is incredible,” said Sukh.
In his role as a Heffner Studio Associate, he does a little bit of everything. Before the studio opens, Sukh checks the equipment, updates and troubleshoots creative tools to ensure they are working well. He assists customers with all manner of recording and creative projects and supports Common Studio film equipment rentals.
Sukh also researches, plans and delivers programs that showcase the tools and equipment available at Heffner Studio. Through programs, people can explore new equipment or new techniques to help improve their work. They can experiment and build skills or connect with other artists. Sukh works hard to foster a culture of belonging in the Heffner Studio space.
“I see my role as someone who curates a safe and accepting space for people to explore their creativity with music, digital creation and video production,” said Sukh. “You need to feel like you belong. To be creative is to be vulnerable.”
Fostering a space where people feel like they belong and can explore their creativity is what Heffner Studio is all about.
