“Whenever Billie Eilish is back in her home neighborhood of Highland Park, Lemon Tree is on a shortlist for places to work. The Highland Park complex, owned by the gregarious Erik Nilsson, has 14 recording studios (a second Arts District outpost has seven) up for long-term lease or shorter-term use, and it’s right in the middle of one of the most music-driven neighborhoods in L.A. - you can get your guitar fixed, record an album, sell your vinyl and spin it at a bar all on the same few blocks.”

Work within LemonTree’s Grammy Award-winning community of mixers, producers, artists, and sound engineers and get collaborating.
“The first thing I always notice at LemonTree is the level of commitment to the tenants and facility. Everything is nice, clean, and calming. It’s a joy to come here every morning because it’s safe, comfortable, and sounds great.”
