Vega Music has opened at 37 West Putnam Ave in downtown Greenwich in the space that was formerly home to Allegra Dance Greenwich. The digital full-service recording studio marked the grand opening of their state-of-the-art facility on Thursday with a ribbon-cutting with First Selectman Fred Camillo alongside Vega Music co-founders Charlie Mangold and Mike Devaney, and Allison Jackson.
Mr. Devaney said he anticipated Vega Music would become a leading destination for artists and musicians, and that he and Mr. Mangold, both Fairfield County natives, had a shared a vision and skill sets that dovetailed nicely.
Indeed, Vega Music is the culmination of both co-founder’s extensive experience and passion for music.
Mr. Mangold, an accomplished producer, songwriter, composer, and music industry veteran with over 35 years of experience, began his career under the guidance of the legendary Phil Ramone. Throughout his career, Mangold has co-produced some of the most prominent artists of our time.
Mr. Devaney, a software engineer and computer scientist, brings his expertise in writing middleware, backend components, database design, and SaaS development to enhance the studio’s technological capabilities. Devaney is also a musician and songwriter, lending a unique perspective to Vega Music’s operations.
“Since our soft opening, we’ve been doing a lot of musical production: recording, mixing and mastering,” Devaney said. “We’re recording bands and training people to do the same. But we also hope to get into more event hosting.”
Indeed the location offers a versatile event space for cocktail or birthday parties, concerts, recitals, art shows, or business meetings.
A comprehensive range of services are on offer, including recording, mixing, mastering, original music production, songwriting, podcasts, voice-overs, and college portfolio development.
Additionally, Vega Music provides education to empower artists of all ages, genres, and skill levels with programs to learn songwriting, composition, music recording, mixing, mastering, and performance on various instruments, including vocals, guitar, bass, trombone, and piano.
The studio caters to individual solo artists as well as groups across genres, such as rock bands, jazz ensembles, classical quartets, orchestras, and choirs.
Further, Vega Music plans to actively engage with the local community through nonprofit projects focused on music education for children and adults.
Vega Music is located at 37 West Putnam Ave in Greenwich.
