A new music and studio hub, Artist House, has opened its doors in New York, giving producers, songwriters, musicians and content creators a collaborative space to support their artistic visions.
Co-founded and founder-funded by Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Gregg Wattenberg and Wind-up Entertainment Co-Founder Steve Lerner, Artist House vows to provide industry expertise, personalized attention and customized planning for each artist through its four divisions: Artist House Records, Artist House Publishing, Artist House Studios and AH Management Collective.
The 20,000-square foot studio space includes 10 studios across two floors designed by FMDesign and Lawrence Group Architects. Artist House is also offering all songwriters that work with the record label arm access to a proprietary Songwriters Fund, which dedicates up to 10% of the points on the master to any associated songwriter—effectively multiplying a writer's earning potential on songs with Artist House artists.
The facility opened in mid-September with a private party featuring performances from Izzy Escobar and Princess Nokia.
“We are reimagining the concept of artist development, bringing a more personalized and tailored approach to the art of making music, providing the space and expertise to pair songwriters and producers with artists for true development,” Wattenberg said. “With Artist House, we are also nurturing a music movement to bring the soul and ambition of music back to New York City. We're not just reviving the city's scene—we're building its future.”
Lerner added, “We believe artists deserve a holistic, artist-first ecosystem that not only supports their creativity, but also protects their vision and empowers their careers from every angle. At Artist House, we provide the infrastructure and expertise that allow musicians to focus on what matters most: making great music and connecting with their audience.”
They vowed, however, not to connect with us.
