A big thanks to Shaun! . We decided to use 21 for our 1st demo in over 25 years. And the first thing that amazed us was how much the recording technology has moved on. Shaun is a fantastic engineer and host. He is very good at his craft. The finished demo is amazing considering the time it took us to complete. (2 sessions). Our band are so impressed with our demo we will be recording an album here very soon. Once again, thanks Shaun. (You really are!. THE WIZARD OF OSLO)Regards, Riddle.

The Tied
Maidstone
Before choosing where to record our band, The Tied, we had a lot to consider - as anybody, or any band does: How much we wanted to spend, the overall sound, how many tracks we wanted. However, we can all without doubt say Sean at Ten21 was without doubt sublime. There are cheaper studios, but ultimately you get what you pay for. A great sound and also a very fun day, which we all learnt huge amounts from. We couldn't recommend him more than enough to anyone, whether they're on their first E. P, like we were or had already released a few albums. 5 Stars. The Tied -Roy, Andy, Adam & Jamie. .

We're releasing our first full length and self produced record, so we came to Ten21 to do some drum tracks. We not only got an amazing drum sound for our record, but we learnt so much from Sean and had a great time whilst we were there. Highly recommend the studio to anyone!

We booked a recording session for our Daughter as a birthday treat and had a truly memorable experience. Sean was both attentive and professional, and a real Muso! He engaged with our 14yr old in such a way to make her feel relaxed and confident, despite the hi-tec surroundings of his fabulous studio. The end result is a CD with a couple of really great vocals and a birthday we will never forget. To view, please see 'bethanyrosemusic1' on You-tube! Enjoy.

If Ten 21 was a car it would be a Rolls Royce. If it were a band it would be The Beatles. If it were a girl it would be an amalgamation of all the Bond girls wearing nothing and calling you sweetly to bed. But it is a recording studio and the Best recording studio that you can ever, ever visit! . SO THERE! We will be back! The chosen One. (Neil)Searching for Pie.

In May of 2011 the beat combo I belong to; The Love Family decided that after a hiatus of 15 years that the material we had deserved to be recorded. An album was to be made - and the choice of studio was a difficult one, but we made an excellent choice in ten21. As with many artists, we don't enjoy record company sponsorship, so we were working to a tight budget. But we wanted to achieve the best possible sound. Okay, anyone who has visited the Ten21 website, will witness how good the quality of sound is. But, it is how Ten21's engineer/producer slash musical supremo Sean Kenny works that is a major factor. We are an Indie/Rock band with very strong opinions how we should sound. NO compromise was made in the making of our album. We recorded as live, and in fact even kept the guide vocal on one of the tracks. If you are an Industrial Metal band or a Jazz trio, it makes no odds to Sean. You are in safe hands! Our album "Out of Reach" comes out in 2012, and sounds wonderful. In no small part to the exceptional recording facility that is Ten21, and its main man Sean Kenny. We would without doubt return, and you should book your session now!PS. Sean does support Wolverhampton Wanderers. We pray for him everyday!.Moreexpand_more

Ten21 studios have mixed and mastered our new cd 'Into the World'. Sean Kenny is a highly skilled and experienced sound engineer whose input and guidance through the mixing and mastering process has been invaluable. The finished cd sounds polished and vibrant and all that we hoped it would be. The facilities are top notch and Kenny has gone above and beyond our expectations to deliver a first class service at an affordable price. We will definitely be back to use Ten21 Studios again.

Ten 21 continues to go from strength to strength. Sean's commitment and pursuit of continual improvement is evident in both the quality of the sound and the way he gets results. Sean has now added an armada of snares to his already great kit and I can fully understand how he is achieving his reputation for great drum sessions. Every sound we wanted was effortlessly realised as well as solid advice and guidance to improve the sound. Highly recommended.

Ten21 was a top studio, Sean was great to work with, highly professional and operated his gear like a jockey winning a race. Its a fun yet productive studio. Very happy with the results and would recommend. ++++ Ben Russell & the Charmers.

Excellent quality recording, editing and mixing, and all around a great day. Sean Kenny is a great individual and very friendly, soon putting me at ease about quite a nerve-racking experience! Much recommended.

Latest High End equipment, absolutely professional recording and mastering, great sound, very nice studio with facilities to record drums, the sound engineer Sean is friendly, professional and always helpful. Great results from and expertise in vocal tuning! For me it's the place to go in the London Area if i want a most professional recording to be done and not spend several hundreds of pounds on it! Furthermore, Sean is a highly-skilled musician himself as a guitarist and drummer, and he can sing as well. 10/10.

I love working at Ten21, I miss working at Ten21, every moment I'm not working at Ten21 is pure torture. Every morning I wake up miserable. Unless it happens to be a day that I'm tracking at Ten21. I miss being at Ten21 like a guy who's getting a severe beat-down misses the time when he wasn't getting a severe beat-down. - Justin Johnson, Producer. (Jroom3. Co. Uk).

Ten21 and indeed it's owner, Sean Kenny, came highly recommended from many different local musicians, so we decided to try it out, and we have just completed a 3 track EP. The quality of the sound is fantastically clear- certainly a professional grade job, so if you're looking for credibility for your music then this studio is definitely a well advised choice. Likewise, the equipment is of a very professional standard, and it seems no compromises have been made with the studio itself either- which is in addition to being wonderfully built , a nice place to be as well. And finally, Sean Kenny, the man who will be recording your sweet tones and bringing them in to the world seems to be almost unanimously regarded (by all those who have worked with him in the studio) as being one of the best. And he's a nice guy too! We will freely admit that when we first saw the price tag for two days of his sonic wizardry, we were rather dumbstruck, but for the quality of recordings, the experience and the advice he will give you, the price tag is pretty small.

Following our first visit to a professional studio, we would like to say a huge thank you to Producer-Engineer, Sean Kenny and all behind the scenes at Ten21 Recording Studios in Bearsted, Nr. Maidstone. Whilst there can be little doubt that the recording studio, high-end equipment and facilities were first rate, our day was made all the more special by Sean's encouragement, patience, sense of professionalism, 'can do' attitude and enduring sense of humour. We were extremely pleased with he results. Will we re-visit in the future? - Absolutely!
Emily Ware
I had such a great day at Ten21 Studios today. The equipment there was outstanding, and the quality of my recording is exceptional! Will definitely be going back there soon for more!

I booked a session at Ten21 Studios to track some drum parts and the results were fantastic. The drum room has a magnificent sound; the studio as a whole is very well set up and well stocked with high end gear but most importantly it sounds great! I can't stress highly enough the importance of using the correct space to record in and Ten21 is fantastically designed with second to none acoustic treatment. The head engineer/producer, Sean, is extremely knowledgeable about music and recording processes. If there's one thing more important than the 'right' space when recording, then it's having the right ears: Sean definitely has good ears and a good musical brain and is able to identify what a recording needs. I couldn't recommend Ten21 highly enough and I will certainly be booking further sessions.

I would like to say a big thank you for a great day yesterday. My Dad had a brilliant time and my daughter loved the experience too. The studio was everything i had hoped for and i loved your informal manner which really put Dad at ease from the start. The finished product is brilliant and its so good to have a recording of Dad and my daughter singing together for posterity. A great value for money and feel good experience all round, thanks.

I have been to this studio twice now and both times I have left extremely satisfied. On my first visit I recorded a Musical Theatre demo and on the back of my recording obtained a number of offers and secured a fantastic agent. A few years down the line I am moving further up my career ladder and needed a further demo. I didn't think twice about returning to Ten21 and am once again thrilled with the results. Sean is fantastic at what he does, is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and skilful and has a tremendous amount of patience! I am in absolutely no doubt that I will return again the moment I need any further recordings. I can't recommend the studio highly enough.

Sean went above and beyond what we asked of him and produced a song of such incredible quality that it begs repeated listening. The attention to detail and creative suggestions elevate this studio to a whole other level of awesome. The finished track has literally blown our minds! So it has.
