The Pad Studio is a recording and content studio in Mesa offering a creative space to help musicians, photographers, videographers, content creators, editors and producers with their creative projects and brands.
Founded by Jason and Jeffrey Linford (aka “the Linford Twins”) The Pad Studio has gone through many iterations over the past 10 years. Most recently — after winning the grand prize grant this year from the State Forty Eight Foundation — The Pad Studio had an official soft opening with new branding, updated services and a refreshed approach to serving the creative community in Arizona.
“Driven by their passion for music and creativity, Jason and Jeff Linford envisioned The Pad Studio as a haven where artists could find the freedom, resources, and spark to bring their visions to life,” says studio manager William Bradford. “From live shows to music videos, music has always been at the heart of why The Pad Studio exists.”
It lives in two recent wins for the studio: It helped local YouTube sensation Life in 3D sell out their first concert and connect with The Righteous Brothers, and founders Jason and Jeffrey recently took first place in Saltmine Studios’ inaugural Open Mic competition.
It takes a concerted effort to achieve such results, and Bradford notes one of the biggest challenges is finding the right team of people with the tenacity and dedication to bring a creative vision to life. “It takes a certain type of person to grasp the vision of what ‘could be,’” he says. “We have been working to overcome this challenge by redirecting the branding, focusing on small goals as a team, and using Facebook and networking to get connected with great talent here in Arizona.”
