Mixed Martial Arts & Music?
What could MMA and creating music in a recording studio possibly have in common? Surprisingly, a lot. Take the fighter Charles Oliveira, for example.
Oliveira is famous for being knocked down and put on his back. But here’s the thing—this is when he’s at his most dangerous. When pinned to the ground, he adapts in ways his opponents don’t expect. That’s when his most creative work happens. And it’s the same with music.
In music, just like in Oliveira’s fights, you might get knocked down. The song might take unexpected turns, or you could feel like it’s slipping out of your control. But those moments of chaos? That’s where real creativity lives. It’s in adapting to where the music takes you, no matter how wild the ride.
This idea resonates with the kind of work we do at Untold Stories Recordings, a Chicago recording studio that thrives on working with musicians who embrace the unexpected. Chicago’s music scene is filled with instrumentalists who pour their hearts into their craft, and our Chicago music studio is here to support those moments when you push forward, even through the chaos.
Whether you need mixing and mastering or a space to let your creativity flow, Untold Stories Recordings is a place for serious artists who aren’t afraid to get a little messy in pursuit of something authentic. Some of the most powerful moments in music come from embracing the unexpected and finding your way forward.
If you can relate or feel the same way, then you are the kind of artist I want to work with!
