History About Studio Center Miami
Studio Center Miami was established in 1972 in North Miami and began as a Television and Film Post Production House for Ivan Thorns. Working on TV shows and films such as Flipper, Big Ben, Smokey and the Bandit to name a few. In 1974 Steve Cuiffo, the original founder and owner of the company decided to open it’s first 8 track Audio Suite. In 1978, as the music recording component to Studio Center Miami began to flourish, a second Audio Suite was built, and this time with a 24 track. This proved to be a major success! In 1986 Studio Center moved from the North Miami location to it’s current location in Miami Lakes. At this time, the television & film side of the business was eliminated to specialize strictly in the Music Industry providing Audio Recording & Mixing services only. The move was a huge success!
Studio Center Miami has now been at the same location for 30 years and has received over 10 Grammy Award winning albums, numerous Gold & Platinum albums & singles. Studio Center Miami has worked with Artists such as Yandel, Ozuna, Farruko, Chino y Nacho, Jay Balvin, Maluma, CNCO, Jakob Foreses, El Tiger, Jesse & Joy, Don Omar, Ivy Queen, Shakira, Ricky Martin, PitBull, Chayanne, Elvis Crespo, Jerry Rivera, Snoop Dogg, Kaye West, Ja-Z, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Roberto Blades, Olga Tanon, Gloria Trevi, Kymani Marley, Rick Ross, Flo-Rida, Trina, just to name a few, the list really goes on and on……
In 2004, Hector Mendez became affiliated with Studio Center Miami and in 2007 he acquired 50% control of the company and began to run the day-to-day operations as General Manager. In 2009, Hector along with his mother, Berta Aleman, who at the time was the VP of Operations for Discovery Channel, acquired the remaining 50% of the business and are now the sole owners of Studio Center Miami.
Since the purchase in 2009, Hector has made renovations to keep the technology standards at the highest level while emphasizing on customer service. “What sets Studio Center Miami apart from other studios is our ability to balance Technology, Service & Staff. Our success comes from our amazing team having the same vision of balance on these three key facets of our business.
