Boothman opens dream studio

Boothman said he has been operating out of his living room or bedroom over the years but this is the one.

The studio is a room inside a room with six-inch loaded blocks, “it is sound proof to the maximum and furnished with stateof- the-art equipment.

I had advice from my friend Howard Lindeman,” said a smiling Boothman.

He has been experimenting with African, Caribbean and jazz music to come up with a sound. His son Stefan is the producer and they are working together on several projects but he is into mentoring the younger artistes who come to the studio.

Boothman said it is very difficult as they come as songwriters/ singers with their ideas and the training is difficult as they have their own codes.

“They sometimes come around and see it is necessary as I show them I have proven myself over and over.” Stefan is currently working with an artist called Chosen and they are producing several songs together, they are also working with Saucy Wow presently.

Boothman said the studio is a sort of one-stop shop where the artiste can be mentored, tutored, recorded and videoed.

Steve Sealy has been helping him with the engineering along with Marlon Roach. Amanda Agarat is the studio manager while Jamalli is the man behind the videos.

Boothman and Poui Tree Studio hope to release several songs this coming week
