A community of artists, innovators, and travelers dedicated to the craft of sound.
Mothership Studio is committed to giving talented Bay Area musicians from every walk of life a platform to create great music that captures the zeitgeist, hopes, and aspirations of our community.
With roots deep in the San Francisco music scene, we want to see the magic return to this great city where generations of musicians have thrived and challenged the world. We pride ourselves in curating a space where thoughtful creators can take risks and be themselves, unencumbered by commercial considerations.
Our Mission
We seek out creators who are dedicated to their craft and equipped with the raw talent to move and inspire us through their art.
We ourselves have produced a lot of hardcore, angry music along the way, but we won’t be making it at Mothership. There’s enough polarization and me-against-you messaging in the world already; we’re resolved not to add to it further. We seek to make music that celebrates our shared humanity and brings us closer together.
We will not support music that belittles individuals or groups, celebrates violence, fetishizes materialism, or promotes hate. Our music can and should pack a punch, steer clear of saccharine stupidity, and delve into hard topics.
We want all of the artists we work with to ask themselves: Are you channeling the purest version of yourself and uncovering something new, or are you rehashing what others have already done because it gets likes on Instagram? If you want to explore the first of those, come to Mothership.
We are all here to teach and learn. We hope to bring value to your life the moment you walk through the doors. We hope that your positive energy will reverberate back into the studio and the other people you encounter while you’re with us. If you’re rude or closed-minded, we’ll politely ask you to leave and won’t invite you back.
We want to help you discover and express yourself fully, without fear of being judged or canceled.
No one should have to be worried about their well-being while creating art.

"5/5 stars for Mothership studio. Been recording here for a little over a year and it's by far my favorite studio in the Bay. Huge shout out to Cameron McCrea who's been working with me on my upcoming album — an incredible engineer and producer. A talented multi-instrumentalist. Has an exceptional ear for everything from recording vocals to general beat production to mixing & mastering. He is also so kind, so patient, absolutely hilarious, and has a natural ability to make you feel comfortable in sessions."
