A creative ecosystembuilt for excellence
Sonark Media was founded with a single vision — to build a world-class creative facility where artists could work without compromise. On 63 acres in Hillsborough, NC, we've created something that goes far beyond a recording studio.
Two professional studios connected by Dante and fiber, North Carolina's first Dolby Atmos approved room, a 60x40 barn for live performances, a 5-bedroom guesthouse, and a team of Grammy-nominated engineers and producers who treat every project as their own.
