Your Music CarriesMore Than a Message. Record It That Way
Gospel and worship music demands more than technical precision — it demands engineers who understand the weight of what's being recorded. Steven Raets and Eli Webb have led gospel productions at Sonark across multiple projects, including work with the legendary Shirley Caesar. Latin Grammy-nominated engineering. Dolby Atmos capability. Remote workflow that reaches you anywhere.
Most studios treat gospellike any other genre.We don't
The dynamics of a live worship recording, the layered vocals of a gospel ensemble, the intimacy of a devotional record — these aren't just technical challenges. They're spiritual ones. Our gospel work — including projects with Shirley Caesar — has taught us what the genre demands: engineers who listen differently and a facility that holds the room properly. Whether you're recording a full choir in-house or sending stems from your own sessions, our remote workflow brings Sonark-level quality directly to your project.

As an ordained Catholic priest and professional Gospel songwriter, I have worked in many environments, but the experience at Sonark is unparalleled. Under the visionary leadership of the owner, Steve, Sonark is more than just a world-class facility; it is a home for the soul.
The technical brilliance of the studio is anchored by the extraordinary talents of Eli. As an engineer, Eli is a master of his craft, possessing an intuitive ear and a meticulous touch that brings every note to life. His support during our sessions has been vital, most notably during the production of my upcoming song (soon to be released by 14 time Grammy Award Winner and Holywood walk of fame recipient, Gospel Legend Pastor Shirely Caesar) titled "Lead Me Onward."
Eli’s dedication to excellence ensured that the spirit of the song was captured perfectly.
To Steve and Eli: Thank you for believing in me, for your tireless work ethic, and for the genuine friendship you have extended to me. You have helped me share my message with the world in the most beautiful way possible. For any artist seeking a professional, spirit-filled, and top-tier recording experience, I give Sonark Media my highest recommendation.
