A Studio Designed for Performance
Our state-of-the-art intelligent lighting system is housed inside a 3,000 sq. ft. rehearsal hall featuring a 550 sq. ft. stage. The space serves as both the hub for our extensive equipment catalog and a versatile rental environment for artists, performers, and production teams preparing for upcoming shows, tours, and live events.
With professional audio, video, lighting, and special effects capabilities available in one space, Max & Mïa's Production Studio gives clients the tools and support they need to rehearse, produce, capture, and elevate their work.

Max & Mïa's Production Studio
Max & Mïa's Production Studio was named after our children, Max and Mïa; the heart behind everything we are building.
Max is five years old and already full of curiosity, imagination, and big ideas. Mïa, at only three months old, is just beginning her story, but she is already part of the reason we wanted to create something meaningful for the future.
We started this studio with the idea that creativity should always be within reach. Whether it is music, video, lighting, performance, or production, we wanted to build a space where artists can create freely and where our children can grow up surrounded by imagination, opportunity, and the belief that big ideas are worth bringing to life.
Max and Mïa's Production Studio is more than a business to us. It is a family-built creative space, inspired by the next generation.
