Devonshire Sound Studios

North Hollywood, Los AngelesRecording studios in California

Devonshire Sound Studios was a music recording studio designed and built by David Mancini located at 10733 Magnolia Blvd in North Hollywood, California. Mancini is also known for designing and building the California Hollywood Recording Studios. The original Devonshire Studio was located in Granada Hills and the original partners were Ray Dewey, Glen Pace, Dick Stricklin and a little later Bill Comstock of The Four Freshmen. Ray met Bill when The Freshmen were recording Ray's song "Girls" for Liberty Records. Originally designed as a production studio, Devonshire soon required more space, more studios, a live chamber, parking, etc. The studio relocated to North Hollywood in 1971 and Mancini became a partner and builder. At its peak as a music recording studio, Devonshire was more than 8,800 square feet (820 m2) and housed four studios, the largest of which was 25 feet (7.6 m) by 46 feet (14 m). The facility also included control rooms, three acoustical echo chambers, a lounge, a bar, a billiard and ping-pong table room, and a whirlpool spa.

The Millennium Dance Complex

The Millennium Dance Complex is a dance studio founded in 1992 and located in the NOHO Arts District of Los Angeles until 2016, when it moved to Studio City. Dance Teacher magazine called Millennium "...one of the top schools in the country." Millennium offers daily drop-in classes in jazz dance, hip-hop, tap, and contemporary dance. Millennium is best known for its numerous dance videos with millions of views on their YouTube channel. Performers such as Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Kenny Ortega, P. Diddy, Beyoncé, Samuel, Monsta X, NCT 127 Ateez and Boy Story have taken classes or had rehearsals at the studio. In 1988, Millennium's directors, AnnMarie Hudson and Robert Baker, met in Frank Hatchett's jazz-funk class on Broadway in Manhattan, New York City. AnnMarie had sold her small New Jersey dance school and relocated to New York. Her first job was in management at the newly formed Broadway Dance Center, working for its founder, Richard Elner. Robert had moved to New York City from South Carolina to pursue a career in acting and dance. He was with the original cast of Dreamgirls on Broadway and studied screenwriting at New York University. In 1991, they moved to Los Angeles where Robert began to work in the television industry as a producer and AnnMarie started Millennium under the name Moro Landis Studios because of the historical dance building which it occupied. In 1999, after producing television movies for NBC, ABC, and securing a producing deal at Warner Brothers television, Robert joined AnnMarie in moving the dance center to its present location. Shortly after, he switched his career goal to building and expanding Millennium with AnnMarie. He remained for nearly 10 years. Millennium's faculty is composed of today’s top working choreographers including Marty Kudelka, David Moore, Matt Steffanina, Tricia Miranda, Brian Friedman, Kyle Hanagami and many more.
