ABOUT US
Welcome to TBeats Studios! We are a group of talented individuals that have a passion for music and the business of the music industry. Tony Thompson, owner began his career in the construction management industry and quickly rose to become the leader of it with the largest minority owned firm in the Midwest; Kwame Building Group. What many do not realize about Tony is that his first love and passion was music. When Tony began college, he was poised at obtaining a degree in the music field. Now that Tony has several successful ventures under his belt, the next chapter of his career has begun with TBeats Studio. Offering the most creative and innovative equipment in music production, TBeats Studio gives aspiring artists the opportunity to have a sound that is second to none.
“We help musicians achieve a professional sound and look without expensive budgets,” said Thompson. “We put our whole being into each artist to help them develop their vocals, stand out in a crowd of performers, and learn the business of entertainment.” TBeats provides four in-house producers, a full marketing department and PR services complete with website designers, graphic artists, and photographers. The equipment at TBeats Studio is the same you would find in Alicia Keys’ Jungle City production studio because we believe that the way to do business is to do it as well or better than the top competition. More than $500,000 has been invested in the downtown TBeats Studio including a top of the line SSL board. Tony oversees the entire company and has built it so that it is owned by the artists and not just one individual. A leader and cutting-edge idea!
TBeats Studio is owned and operated by Tony Thompson. Our in-house producers include a staff of four seasoned experts led by our newest member, Joe Capo, a two-time grammy award winning music producer with over 20 years in the music industry. Kwame Thompson provides legal and contract management to the business and artists. Sylva Wilson is our business development officer and oversees the marketing, strategic planning and operations. With over 18 years in the marketing and business operations industry her critical eye helps keep us on track. Nichol Stevenson assists in our Artist Development department with Tony Thompson. Tyrell Thompson is our in-house photographer and graphic artist from album covers to mind blowing hand-drawn designs. Monica Black handles artists PR and is the resident Etiquette Coach.
Our team has been hand-picked by Tony Thompson himself. Only the best and brightest are on board. Having a true passion for the industry is a requirement and having the ability to have fun while working is a must!
