We had the good fortune of connecting with Anthony J. Resta and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anthony J., what is the most important factor behind your success?
I suppose it would be creating lasting art in the most non-generic possible way. We work hard to help artists find that part of them that highlights all their best qualities. We preserve a philosophy of “trying to stand out”, rather than ” trying to blend in”  when it comes to making music.  Most of our clients have gone on to do incredible things. Many have been working with us 10, 15 even 20 years.   I guess in the end,  their successes are our successes.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
We have a Spotify playlist with 41 hours straight of music that we’ve produced. everything from classical to jazz and hiphop. I think our versatility is our strongest asset. We try to go head to head with the competition and do our research and learn with the people we work with to help create an outcome that surpasses all of our expectations.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would first show them around Laurel Canyon which is where our studio is. It’s such a historical musical wonderland. Next maybe take them to Malibu to check out the ocean and grab a seaside lunch. and there’s the always popular Hollywood tourist destinations literally 2 miles from the studio.
