STUDIO ONE MEDIA INTRODUCES ITS REVOLUTIONARY MYSTUDIO® AT 944 MAGAZINE'S HEADQUARTERS IN LOS ANGELES
Location on Sunset Boulevard Marks Beginning of National Expansion for MyStudio Personal Recording Studios
LOS ANGELES (August 20, 2009) - 944 Magazine (http://www.944.com/) has announced a partnership with Studio One Media, Inc. ("Studio One") (OTCBB: SOMD) to install its newest MyStudio personal recording studio at 944's Los Angeles headquarters on Sunset Strip. The studio is one of only three studios in the country, with the first studio operating in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the other scheduled to debut in New York in the Fall of 2009.
Located in 944 Magazine's 1,900-square-foot event space at 8560 Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles, the building is one of the most prominent in Hollywood, having served as the former headquarters for Playboy Enterprises and currently home to some of the entertainment industry's leading companies.
MyStudio is the first of its kind, offering the public a true recording studio quality audio and broadcast video from a stand-alone recording studio for $20 for a five-minute session. The entertainment venue can be used to create professional videos for music, modeling, comedy, dating, job resumes and auditions, along with more casual videos like personal messages and greetings.
The private showroom environment will allow Studio One to conduct daily meetings and tours to introduce MyStudio to an extensive list of guests in the entertainment and investment industries through mid-October. 944 Magazine will host several industry-themed cocktail events at their premier West Hollywood venue followed by a marquee V.I.P. launch party.
"The partnership with 944 Magazine and MyStudio is such an ideal match," said CEO and Founder of 944 Media Marc Lotenberg. "Our headquarters and multi-use event space offer a high-traffic location to showcase and launch a new brand, and in turn, MyStudio offers synergy for our readers and partners."
Studio One has bridged the gap between industry giants and the general public, through the success of its existing partnerships with The GRAMMY Foundation, EMI Music Publishing and reality TV powerhouse Mark Burnett Productions. Such partnerships have allowed consumers the opportunity to participate in national contests and auditions in a format and quality that has never before been available.
"We are very pleased to partner with 944 Media to launch MyStudio in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world," stated Larry Ryckman, CEO and Founder of MyStudio. "944 brings us world-class promotional and special event expertise. Their private showroom provides the ideal environment to establish new relationships in the entertainment and financial communities that are necessary to advance our national and international expansion plans."
Studio One's first MyStudio is located in one of the nation's top shopping malls, Scottsdale Fashion Square in Scottsdale, Ariz. After premiering at 944's headquarters, the second MyStudio will move to its permanent location inside one of the major shopping malls in the Los Angeles area. The company expects to continue with installation of additional studios on a national and international basis throughout 2009 and 2010.
