"To work with Anthony Lopardo and all the other members of killingsworth studios was possibly the best decision that we could have made as a band. The dedication, long hours and musical insight that came from the staff at killingsworth made us realize how much we can do as a band. Each project that Anthony starts, he really puts his full attention and dedication into, to make every record as awesome as it possibly can be. As a band we wouldn’t even think to record at any other studio for our next record."

My name is Ryan Taylor and my band Men Like Gods recorded a 6 song EP with Anthoney Lopardo, Ray Marte, and Ryan Hayes. Me and the rest of the band had a great experience with these guys and the studio in general. The equipment was fucking awesome. and the guys were really good producers. they didnt rush us and they really put a lot of time into our music to make it sound as good as possible. Anthony actually sat down with us and helped write harmonies for the guitar parts and kept giving us ideas to help enhance our sound. Ray also helped a shit load and like hand placed some of the fast double bass to make it tighter. Killingswoth is just an all around great studio

"Working with Anthony Lopardo has drastically improved the overall sound of our band. Recording at Killingsworth is a learning experience for sure because producers there are so musically talented and driven. If you're looking to record in a state of the art and extremely chill studio, come to Long Island. This was my 2nd time recording with Anthony Lopardo and I am now convinced that Killingsworth is going to make its way to the top of the food chain. Our EP far exceeded any expectations that we had for it."

in early december my band Archon November recorded our demo with these guys and we couldnt be happier. We approach people with our demo and as soon as they hear the first 15 secs they are blown away by the quality. Anthony and Ray did an amazing job of bringing the songs to a proffesional level that we never thought would be possible. Of course not to mention working with these guys is an experience in and of itself. Ive never seen two people more commited to a project before in my life. They definitely go the extra mile for their clients. For the inexperienced musicians looking to record. Ray and Anthony display a Nun like patience,trying to help and work with you every step of the way, always making creative suggestians that make the music your playing more cohesive. For the experienced musician looking to record its dumb not to come here. Why not have sound quality that matches your musical ability? The idea is to turn heads when people hear your music and thats what we got with Ant

In a business where most look to take your money, get your record done and boot you the hell outta there. Anthony Santo and the other professionals at Killingsworth are the exact opposite and represent the good in the music industry. Having worked with Anthony Santo, Tomas Costanza, Anthony Lopardo and a number of the other guys at Killingsworth on multiple projects, I can say the experience we've had was nothing short of awesome. The quality and professionalism that we received by far surpassed any expectations we had. In short, for your next record, you need to go to Anthony Santo and get it done right by someone who actually cares.

"Anthony Santo and the NY staff are all very professional, and accommodating. Santo is a great producer, writer, and engineer. His ear for music and production is nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend Santo & Killingsworth Studios to anyone looking for a studio with a great atmosphere, great staff, and of course a great finished product!"

"It is very difficult to find a producer who takes the time to understand what you are about as a band, and is able to give the technical and creative suggestions that bring your songs to the next level. There is a definite difference between a true producer, and a dude who just stands at the console and presses record.

He works tirelessly to get the best take from you, all while introducing ideas that capitalize on your biggest strengths. Bringing a well-rounded skill set to the table, Anthony can fill in on any instrument. Most importantly, Anthony understands that you know your band and your sound best, so he never insists on having his way.I am sure you can find a cheaper recording deal with someone who’s there to get you in and out as quickly as possible.

-Self Conclusion

Our Experience with KillingsWorth Recording in Farmingdale, NY was nothing short of amazing! We're a band from Denver, Co and they made the out of town experience feel like home. Our Producer was Anthony Lopardo, who's music knowledge can seem infinite and our Co-Pro Ray Marte 7 beat master M.D. These guys understand music at its best and worst. What makes every great record great is the passion put into it from band and producers both and they have the passion needed (that most assholes who charge out the ass to record don't). They have great ideas to make all their recordings have there own unique sound. Seriously these guys mean business when it comes to making kick ass records. The recording environment was very chill and none hostel, which is always appreciated. If your serious about the music your playing, this is a great place to record. They give a damn about the music not just a pay check and the price is great too!!! We love these guys

"I can't even begin to explain the great experience i had working with these guys at Killingsworth. I knew once we decided to work with Santo and Tomas, we were taking the right step in advancing our music career. The recording process was second to none. Santo has a great ear, and is able to take good ideas and make them fantastic. Our first record with Killingsworth helped us gain the credibility and buzz to get our feet wet in the music industry."

Recording at Killingsworth and with Anthony Lopardo was the best move for our band. Anthony is a very talented guy who can really put a edge to your music and make it sound amazing! His influence was very helpful as well as his recording skills. While I recorded at Killingsworth it
had an amazing vibe, many laughs were shared with everyone while recording. The studio was very clean brand new and very nice. The staff is very talented as well. The equipment and the gear at the studio was very professional well equipped to produce the finest Quality. Anthony really took his time with us to hear us out as a band to get the sound we all wanted. This was my first time recording with anthony and i think after that it all spoke for it self. i will always continue
to work with him for every project i do no matter what the musical
genre is.

"It’s hard to put into only a few words the experience we had while recording our debut record at Killingsworth. It was a time filled with a whirlwind of emotion, excitement, fear and hard work all wrapped into one. Tomas Costanza, Anthony Santonocito, Keith Cooper and all the other professionals at Killingsworth taught us an immense amount about the music industry as a whole, while at the same time pushing us to strive towards and surpass what we thought were our best musical and personal capabilities."

-Recorded June 2009 Killingsworth New York

Anthony was our first Producer and produced our first E.P. We are definetly going back to work with him again. Being that we are all pretty young we figured we would be taken advantage of, but not at all. We were treated as proffessionals and as every customer should be. He gave us the same quality and effort in our music as the other recordings hes done. At no point during our recording procsess did we feel we made a bad descision by choosing him. We recorded with top of the line equipment that you would see your favorite artists using. The Studio it self is Brand new, clean, and ready for records to be made. Theres such a good vibe in the studio as your recording too. He's very paitient and confident. Also no matter what genre you are hes flexible and expirienced enough in his profession to mold to your needs. We definetley recommend him to anyone looking to record an album. We wouldnt waste our time lying on his behalf we seriously meant everyword.

In 2018 we’ll be joining Jampacked Productions together with multiple South African and international bands in an effort to raise R1 million for the Rocking for Rhinos foundation.

A Horse of principle Hung was raised in the farmlands of North Dakota, to a family owned by race horse breeders, His father: Seabiscuit had high expectations for his son, he dreamed of Hung growing up to become one of the all-time greats to ever compete in a derby. But Hung wanted nothing to do with the sport; he despised the idea of living in his father's shadow, On top of this, he started questioning the racehorse way of life, believing that humans were empty fools who did nothing more than enslave horses for sport, So Hung decided to run way to  Los Angeles in search of meaning and identity, he developed interests in human pop culture, and was inspired by radio icon Big Boy, Hung decided to pursue a past time hobby recording his own podcast called “The Rush Hour”

What happens when an organization designs itself around emotion and people, instead of only function and process? Guided by the idea that what you get on the inside, you get on the outside--today's smartest organizations are diving into talent science, organizational psychology and customer experience research. It's led to a sea change in how we think about the world of work and how we compete for talent and customers. It's also led to a race to integrate culture with brand. 

​Hosted by Cravety founder and chief experience officer Ed Bodensiek, the X Dive Live show features disruptors from CX, EX, marketing, HR, and other fields. Our guests are visionaries who see that the desire for a more human experience has caused previously distinct disciplines to converge into something new, and not yet fully understood. It's driving customer experience to merge with employee experience, and brand with culture.

James Massone, 24, is an R&B singer/songwriter from Wakefield, Massachusetts, a small suburb located about 12 miles north of Boston. James started out his career singing and performing mostly at high school talent shows, plays, and small concerts.  Having a love for singing and performing since as far back as he can remember, he credits his grandfather Geno (89), his father Jimmy, and brother Jason with helping him hone his craft over the years. When not working for the family’s auto repair business or taking in a game for any one of Boston's sports teams, he works on his vocals, performances and songwriting.  Until just recently, James' talent was appreciated by a relatively small following of friends and fans through videos uploaded to YouTube.  While maintaining a wide range of singing abilities, James has regularly covered his favorite influences such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Jamie Foxx, John Legend, and Ne-Yo to name a few.  


"The Voice" on NBC

In 2011, James participated in an audition for season two of NBC’s Emmy Award nominated series “The Voice”, in which contestants have a chance to perform a blind audition for four team judges - who just happen to be some of the biggest names in Pop, Hip-hop/R&B, and Country including: Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, and country superstar Blake Shelton.   Unlike American Idol, judges on The Voice base their decision on hearing the artist's voice only.  Whether you have what it takes to make it onto one of their 12 member teams and a chance to compete for a recording contract and $100,000.00 depends on if they like what they hear. Contestants lucky enough to have more than one judge turn their chair around for them then have the choice of selecting which team they would join and perhaps the chance of a lifetime to work alongside one of their mentors.  

            


From a field of thousands who tried out, James was selected by NBC's talent producers to travel from Boston to Los Angeles and perform in the blind audition, which aired on national television in March of this year.  Performing Drake’s very popular “Find Your Love”, James worried none of the judges would pick him to advance to the next round.  With his entire family nervously watching from backstage with host Carson Daly, James struggled to keep his emotions in check until seeing three out of the four judges (Aguilera, Green, and Shelton) turn their chairs around to pick James for their teams. “Man, you have soul” said Aguilera, confessing she had no idea what she was going to find when she turned her chair around. Shelton admired James' ability to control his emotions until the end of his performance.  Levine, the lone holdout, opted instead to let his fellow judges fight it out over James, who quickly asked with his Boston charm, “Adam, what happened with you?”  After a heartfelt and humble thanks to all of the judges and people supporting him, it would be Team Cee-lo Green where James would land being dubbed "Lady Killer Number 2" by his coach and mentor and paving the way for James to work with some of his favorite artists, including R&B phenom, Ne-Yo.  

                          

Not surprisingly, James’ blind audition performance reached over one million hits on YouTube - an accomplishment James never imagined just a few short months back working at the family body shop and performing at talent shows and small venues. 

                          

After winning a "battle round" against fellow teammate Wade Brown in which the two performed a duet version of Cyndi Lauper's mega hit "True Colors", James prepared for his first live performance which put his fate in America's hands. In April, James made his third appearance on The Voice's live broadcast.  Performing a solid cover of Norah Jones’ hit “Don’t Know Why”, James played to his strength - the women in the audience - easily earning himself the title as Season Two's heartthrob.  "What is going on with the ladies?" Carson Daly asked a grinning Massone after his performance that was marked by the screeches and screams of teenage audience members.  With his fan base and judges alike responding with praise - including Blake Shelton who claimed he "almost threw his panties on the stage" - the performance trended worldwide on Twitter and quickly reached number 3 on the iTunes R&B Singles Charts. James received enough votes to be carried through to the next round.  
                           

Having made it to the Top 12 contestants, James was ultimately eliminated from the show after his fourth performance covering Billy Joel’s “Just The Way You Are." In a controversial twist to the rules, the show instituted an instant elimination where coaches were forced to eliminate one team member after all contestants concluded their live performances that evening. Before America or James' fans even had the opportunity to cast their votes, James learned that he didn't make the cut to the Top 8 semi final round. 

                                 
After his elimination, James was invited by his good friend Jermaine Paul (Season Two Winner) to join him and fellow contestants Pip Andrew and Jamaar Rogers in the show's finale to perform the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.” The performance received rave reviews.  

                                  
James says that appearing on The Voice was a tremendous learning experience - win or lose.  He had the chance to record and release studio versions of each of the songs performed, which are distributed and currently available through Apple’s iTunes. Each single has reached the top 20 on the iTunes R&B singles charts with "True Colors" and "Don't Know Why" both charting in the Top 10. He also appeared and performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. 
Now, with countless hours of rehearsals, preparation, and live television performances seen by millions under his belt, James eagerly looks forward to bringing his career to the next level having worked along side some of the industry's top artists, performers, and musicians. 

And...its only just the beginning.

Life After The Voice

In order to continue pursuing his music career, James currently splits his time between the Boston area, where his parents reside, and Los Angeles, where his brother Jason and sister Jillian live.  James, who keeps in touch with his fellow Voice contestants and coach Cee-Lo Green, has begun to assemble a young, talented team of music industry, marketing and business professionals to help him plan and map out his next steps in what is sure to be a rapidly growing music career.

History proves to us time and time again that no matter how many centuries passed by, the role of art and entertainment has the great importance in the human’s life and it has not really changed over the years. It does not really matter what era you live in, what kind of transformations this time produced, talented people always have been and will be the face and soul of any particular moment. Biographies of talented people show one particular trend: they had to survive and overcome the difficult times, which life would through at them and that their way to success always was the hard one. 

Raised in a middle-class household, the daughter of an engineer and a biologist, Valentina who always dreamed of the stage, started her fight for the recognition at a very early age. On numerous occasions and by different people she was told:” You can’t sing, you have no talent”. But she was born a fighter and always proved that she can sing, write music and the most important she has the great talent. 

As a young woman, Valentina attended acting and singing classes and worked various odd jobs in nightclubs. 

Her latest creations where she wrights both music and lyrics include, but not limited to: Movie Soundtracks, Opera, Jazz, Pop, Rock and Ballads. Any creative process and especially the song writing is a mirror of real life where victories and defeats, bad and good coexist. By looking into this mirror and bringing reality of life into her creative process, Valentina comes up with her original ideas that live in her songs. 

The combination of her striking voice, beautiful music and lyrics make her songs really impossible to miss and forget.
