North Carolina Wesleyan University’s (NCWU) 301 North Studio continues to shine as a hub of creative excellence and real-world learning, offering students a rare opportunity to work directly in a professional recording environment. Under the guidance of studio director Tony Sawyer, the studio is producing a wide range of professional music projects that highlight its unique character and uncommon productivity.

Most recently, Music Production major Lamont Taylor Jr. released his first single, “The Wonder of You,” on October 24 under his artist name, T. H. Griffin. The single, recorded and produced at 301 North Studio, was a collaborative effort among NCWU music production students, who contributed performances and assisted with engineering and mixing. The track was released under 301 North Records, the University’s official label, and is now available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and YouTube Music.

Dr. Joe Lane, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, shares “We are always excited that our students, faculty, and staff are able to work together to make innovative recordings at our unique 301 North Studio.  We look forward to sharing their work with the community.”

Whether it’s performing, producing, or mixing, 301 North Studio offers NCWU students hands-on experience in a professional setting—one where creativity, collaboration, and career preparation come together in perfect harmony. 301 North Records and Studio are integral parts of the NCWU B.A. in Music Production degree program.  To learn more about this exciting degree program please visit the NCWU website or contact Assistant Professor of Music Production Tony Sawyer at tsawyer@ncwu.edu.
