Capitol Studios is a recording studio located at the landmark Capitol Records Tower in Hollywood, California, United States. The studios, which opened in 1956, were initially the primary recording studios for the American record label Capitol Records. While they are still regularly used by Capitol recording artists, the facilities began to be made available to artists outside the label during the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The studios are owned by Universal Music Group, the parent company of Capitol Music Group.
Since Capitol Studios' founding, the studio has hosted many well-known artists such as: Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Michael Jackson, Dean Martin, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys, John Mayer, Green Day, Billie Eilish, and Daft Punk.[1] Along with traditional recording sessions, the studio has been the location of numerous events that include iTunes, Sirius/XM sessions, CMG Productions, such as the Top of the Tower concerts and the 1 Mic 1 Take Series. They've also hosted music video shoots including Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," TV/documentaries Behind the Music, Classic Albums, Showtime Original Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued, the HBO feature If You're Not In The Obit, Eat Breakfast, PBS specials, and many other projects. The Studio has hosted the Oscars for the past two decades and hosts dozens of branded experiential and playback events each year.[2]
