Why Flossmoor Musicians Trust Us

Flossmoor has long been one of the south suburbs’ most distinguished communities — a village known for its high standards, its well-established residential character, and a deep appreciation for things done well. Homewood-Flossmoor High School has produced generations of musically educated students through one of the region’s strongest arts programs, and that foundation stays with people. Musicians from Flossmoor often carry formal training alongside years of independent development — they understand music theory, they’ve performed in front of audiences, and they approach recording with a level of preparation that reflects their background. These are artists who’ve been serious about music for a long time, and who are now ready to create recordings that represent that seriousness at a professional level. Whether you’re a guitarist tracking a carefully arranged EP, a vocalist recording material developed through years of performance, or a narrator building a professional audiobook catalog, you’ll find a studio environment at Untold Stories that respects both the craft and the preparation you’ve invested in it. Chicago’s #1 rated studio on Google was built on exactly this kind of clientele — artists who hold their work to a high standard and expect the same from everyone they collaborate with.

Getting Here from Flossmoor

From Flossmoor, the drive to our studio at 1007 West 19th Street takes approximately 30-35 minutes. The most direct route: take I-57 North from the Flossmoor area toward Chicago, merge onto I-94/Dan Ryan Expressway North, and exit at Cermak Road (22nd Street) heading west into Pilsen — the studio is just a few minutes from the exit. Alternatively, Halsted Street runs north directly from the south suburbs through Pilsen, offering a surface street option that connects you to the neighborhood without any expressway changes. For those who prefer public transit, the Metra Electric District line runs from Flossmoor Station to Millennium Station in downtown Chicago, where a rideshare to Pilsen takes about 10 minutes. Street parking throughout Pilsen is free at all times — no meters, no permits, no garages. You’ll typically find a spot within half a block of the studio. The south side location means the commute from Flossmoor is one of the most logical of any suburb on the map — a straight shot north with no downtown complications between you and the session.

What Makes Flossmoor Artists Unique

Musicians from Flossmoor tend to approach their creative work the way they approach everything else — with structure, patience, and a clear sense of what they’re working toward. Many have musical educations that go back decades, giving them a technical foundation that informs every creative decision they make. They understand arrangement, they know how to listen critically to their own performances, and they come to recording sessions having already done the internal work of figuring out what the finished product should sound like. That combination of formal foundation and personal artistic vision makes for some of the most productive studio sessions we have. There’s no time wasted working out parts or second-guessing directions — Flossmoor artists arrive knowing their material and ready to execute it. Singer-songwriters, acoustic performers, and project artists from this community consistently produce recordings they’re genuinely proud of because the preparation happened long before the session began. At Untold Stories, we bring the technical precision and attentive engineering that makes that preparation pay off — capturing your sound with the clarity and warmth it deserves, from the first take to the final master.

An incredibly professional studio. Ian worked hand in hand with my band from recording to producing to mixing and mastering, and flawlessly understood our artistic vision. He was able to perfectly balance the delicate act of providing insights from his decades of experience, while simultaneously allowing us to take the reins and record our project how we envisioned it. An absolute privilege to work with him, highly recommend to anyone from veterans of the industry to brand new beginners.

There’s something truly special about seeing your songs come to life, especially at a studio such as this one where I feel truly at home and comfortable to be myself and express myself through music. Working with Ian, gave me so much motivation and reignited my passion towards making music. Many, many thanks to Untold Stories for being the safe space I needed to bring my vision to fruition.

A truly 10/10 studio that I'd strongly recommend to anyone needing studio time. Before even discussing the product, I want to highlight how awesome of a guy Ian (the owner and sound engineer) is...He's honest, kind, patient, and a joy to be around. When I initially reached out to him, I was nervous about visiting a professional studio, but he walked me through the process and gave me the knowledge and confidence to book a session and record some really great music. The studio itself is in a nice area that's easily accessible. Inside, the place is stocked with high-end equipment and great soundproofing/isolation. The gear - in tandem with Ian's creativity and expert musical sense (mixing/mastering) will have you making music that you're truly proud of. It's hard to put into words how awesome (and affordable) of an experience working with Ian is. My advice would be to book a session and see for yourself!

Untold Stories is the best. Everything you read in the reviews is true— trust your gut and book with Ian. He made arrangements for me on a tight timeline, he was professional and incredibly smart, super friendly, and a pleasure to work with!!

I had a game changing experience at Untold Stories (...great name btw!). I've been messing around with recording my own stuff from home for a few years, at an amateur level, but I came into the session with the mindset of trying to learn as much as possible about how to record properly. And I learned a bunch about what kind of equipment to invest in personally, how to produce tracks, tips on EQ settings and just generally how to work efficiently in a studio environment. As well as just having a blast the whole day, this genuinely upped my game for recording vocals, guitar and harmonica. I'd say Ian was the real star of the show though, as he created a very relaxed but professional vibe throughout the whole day, he really know's his stuff and even though I'm just starting out in the studio world, I guarantee he could record, mix or master for musicians at all levels. I felt like no time was wasted throughout the session and the cherry on top was that I finished the 8hr session with a completed track that I love! Highly recommend for any musical minstrels out there who are looking to lay down some quality tracks! 👌

I came all the way from Germany to record my album with Ian! Ive been to music studios all over the world and the customer service and quality from Untold Stories Recordings is the best i have ever experienced!

Working with Ian on Heaven in a Wildflower, my first audiobook, was a wonderful experience. His technical expertise was top-notch, but he also had the ability to be encouraging and patient as the narrator and I learned the process. This was a 60+ chapter book so a huge undertaking but everything went flawlessly. Highly recommend!
