Our Team:
Artists, Producers and Collaborators.
Every great record starts with a strong creative partnership. That’s why we work closely with artists to shape their sound, develop their ideas, and bring their musical vision to life—from the first demo to the final master. Along the way, we bring in an incredible community of musicians, producers, and collaborators who help elevate the process and push each project to its full potential.
We’re proud to work with some seriously talented people who make the magic happen behind the scenes and in the booth. Meet some of the artists and collaborators who help make those dreams a reality:
Eric Stallings
Owner and Producer, the Groove Studio
Mason Edward Riley
“Twenty-year-old Atlanta singer-songwriter Mason Embers has a mission: influence his listeners to feel the range of human emotion.”
Olivia Barnes
Olivia Barnes is an Atlanta-bred, New Orleans-based independent singer-songwriter who’s been writing songs for as long as she can remember. Olivia is known for the twang woven throughout the music she creates, but has proven she can genre-bend between pop, rock, alternative, classic country, Americana, and folk-blending the music she loves now with the sounds she grew up on.

She draws influence from artists such as Tedeschi Trucks Band, Hurray for the Riff Raff and Liz Cooper but is also inspired by the music of her childhood, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to R.E.M. to Sheryl Crow.
