STUDIO FOUNDERChristopher Botta

Artist, Audio Engineer, Producer

Christopher Botta owns and manages PlayTalk Studios, located in Tempe, Arizona. His dream has always been to have a professional studio to call his own. As an artist who has been recording for many years and attended C.R.A.S to learn audio engineering, this is his commitment to music. 
He has been too many studios to record his music and has gotten to experience how different rooms, equipment, engineers, and vibes all play into how a record comes out. Playtalk is Chris’s home away from home, as he hopes to be able to continue to build with equipment, experience, good music, and memories of a lifetime while opening his studio to the public to make their magic reality.

TEAM ENGINEERJake Rhind
