Mona Kayhan owns The Bridge, a large-room recording studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This stunning space is devoted to making exceptional recordings in a manner that has become less common and upholding the tradition of sonic excellence.
The new tradition that should also be celebrated here is that this space is a woman-owned commercial recording studio. Mona and I talked about her training as a classical pianist, making field recordings of traditional music in West Africa with Griot masters, working at indie labels, starting the Electronic Music School at the forefront of Dubstep, running stages at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, and her deep love of artists and making them heard.
Radar features discussions with artists and industry leaders who are creators and devotees of music and is produced by Dylan Hundley and The Vinyl District. Dylan Hundley is an artist and performer, and the co-creator and lead singer of Lulu Lewis and all things at Darling Black. She co-curates and hosts Salon Lulu which is a New York based multidisciplinary performance series. She is also a cast member of the iconic New York film Metropolitan.
