Every Song Deserves More Than Just a Recording

Writing a song is deeply personal. Recording it should feel just as creative.

Many singer-songwriters from Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and surrounding North Coast communities are looking for more than someone to simply press Record. They want a producer who understands songwriting, arrangement and performance.

At Funky Lizard Studios, Robbie Long works alongside artists to develop songs into professional recordings while protecting the original emotion and story behind each piece.

A Producer Who Becomes Part of Your Band

One of the biggest challenges for solo artists is imagining what their song could become.

As an experienced multi-instrumentalist, Robbie can contribute tasteful parts including:

  • acoustic guitar
  • electric guitar
  • bass
  • keyboards
  • percussion
  • vocal harmonies
  • arrangement ideas

Instead of hiring multiple session musicians, many artists can build a full production with one experienced collaborator.

Escape the Distractions

Sometimes the best creativity happens away from home.

Travelling to Newcastle gives artists the opportunity to step away from everyday responsibilities and focus entirely on songwriting and recording.

For larger recording projects, accommodation is available, allowing you to immerse yourself in the creative process over several days.

A Relaxed and Supportive Recording Experience

Recording can feel intimidating—especially if it’s your first time in a professional studio.

Robbie is known for creating a calm, encouraging atmosphere where artists feel comfortable experimenting with ideas and delivering their best performances.

Whether you’re recording your first single or an entire EP, the goal is always the same:

Create recordings that sound authentic to you.

Convenient for North Coast Musicians

Newcastle is within comfortable driving distance of many NSW North Coast centres, making it an accessible destination for dedicated recording sessions.

Artists regularly travel from areas including:

  • Port Macquarie
  • Kempsey
  • Coffs Harbour
  • Nambucca Heads
  • Bellingen
  • Ballina
  • Lismore
  • Byron Bay

From Demo to Release

Whether you’re looking to record:

  • your first original song
  • a professional single
  • an EP
  • a full album

Funky Lizard Studios can guide you through every stage, from pre-production and recording to mixing and preparing your music for release.
