Testimonials

I first heard Wes's work when Aktar Aktar released their album and I was blown away at how professional it sounded. Once I saw the studio in person I knew how professional it really was. Recording there was really fun! We sounded better than I ever imagined. With Wes producing and us playing, much work was accomplished in a short amount of time. Catfish is a Great Place for any style of music.

Dan
Catfish Slim

We have worked with Catfish Studio for the past three years and Wes has expanded from not just a producer and engineer but has become a vital member in our creative process. His consistent professionalism and creativity has pushed us to reach new peaks in our carer. We could not see ourselves where we are today without the help of Catfish Studio.


Aktar Aktar

The overall energy inside the Studio is surreal. I have been in and out for the past six years, and Catfish has grown into a fully decked out operation. I recommend any musician to try it out.
