There’s something powerful about music production in the same room as your student/mentor. Online coaching is great, but in-person work creates a different kind of momentum – the kind you feel immediately in the music. Why in-person coaching hits deeper: There’s something powerful about learning music production in the same room as your mentor. Online coaching is great, but in-person work creates a different kind of momentum — the kind you feel immediately in the music. Why in-person coaching hits deeper: 1) Creative energy you can’t recreate online – being in the room amplifies confidence, and inspiration. Nothing beats that personal connection. 2) True mentorship – you’re not just learning techniques; you’re absorbing mindset, workflow, and studio discipline, but also feeding off the energy of those around you. 3) Doing things at your own terms – take a break, walk on the beaches of Bali, have a drink together, loosen up and open space for creativity to flow. Online coaching opens doors – but in-person coaching opens a whole new version of a producer. This has to be one of the biggest reasons why I want to build this studio, personal connection is so important to me and it’s irreplaceable. We have just crossed the 25% mark of our goal and I am so excited and grateful 🫶🏼

Nobody told me building a studio in Bali would be this hard. Here are the top 3 challenges I’ve been going through: 1. Permits & Land Certificates — Bali bureaucracy is… an adventure. Making sure every permit, land cert, and legal detail is 100% correct takes time, patience, and a lot of coffee 😂. 2. Shipping Gear to Indonesia — We’re spoiled in the West. Shipping high-tier studio equipment to an island? Let’s just say: customs, delays, and logistics love to test your mental resilience 😭 3. Construction Quality Control — Getting the vision built exactly right is the hardest part. Contractor standards vary a LOT, so staying on top of every detail will be a full-time job 🔨😅 Despite all this… we’re doing it. This project means everything, and we want to be fully transparent with you all as we bring this dream studio to life 🙏🔥 You have until Christmas to support it and have your name engraved on the wall forever 🙂

Why am I building this studio? 1. I have been doing @soundcation retreats all over the world and it never really had a permanent home. The retreats happening were always dependent on third party factors, so now this can change. I can host Soundcation far more often and give more opportunities to upcoming producers to learn and improve their craft. 2. I will have a creative space that brings inspiration beyond the music making – everything can be a source of inspiration, nature, air, beauty, people. And Bali has all of this. The creative process doesn’t begin within 4 walls, it’s everywhere around us. 3. Having full control of mixi no & mastering – this is something I am very confident and good at and now I want to create a space that will deliver that quality each and every time, without depending how on other studios or struggling with their setups.

I should asked @simonleonmusic if he likes pineapple on pizza before we collabed but hey it’s done now. At least our song is actually pretty good 😅 Dennis Sheperd x Simon Leon x @kattyheath – Strange Love is out on all platforms – let us know what you think and feel free to shame Simon on his pizza choices 💀💀

Why does this project mean so much to me? Because it has an impact on the community, on the scene and on me as a person.

After years of producing music on the road, I’m finally building a space designed for real focus, inspiration, and creativity – something I’ve never had before. 2. It gives artists a place to grow. Producers, singers, and songwriters from around the world will have a professional, inspiring environment to learn, collaborate, and develop their sound. 3. It becomes the new home for Soundcation. This studio will anchor future retreats, workshops, and mentorship sessions, offering a hands on experience for upcoming artists. 4. It builds a global music community. This isn’t just a studio – it’s a hub where friendships form, ideas collide, and international artists work under the same roof. 5. It lays the foundation for the next generation of music. The songs, collaborations, and stories created here will outlive all of us – and your support helps build the place where that future begins.

What better way to experience a culture than through language? 🙌🏻 I live here now and I want to fully embrace that! Hence I am learning Bahasa Indonesia now. 💪🏻 Semangat! 👌🏻
