Your Creative Island in Midtown Manhattan
Tired of the typical charmless corporate studio environment? Seeking a professional production space that doesn’t sacrifice warmth or hospitality? You’ve found your creative sanctuary.
Nestled in the energetic heart of Midtown Manhattan — just steps from Penn Station — Tradewinds Studio is more than just four walls, a camera, and some mics. It’s a purposefully designed creative hub where premium production quality meets a legendary “island vibe.”
The Magic of the Islands:
A Global Collaboration
Tradewinds is a testament to what happens when creative directors from opposite ends of the globe unite. The studio is owned and operated by Raymond Mongroo, Managing Director, who hails from Trinidad and Tobago, and Michael Asirvadem, Creative Director, who brings his talents from Sri Lanka.
This unique partnership infuses every session with a distinct blend of famed island hospitality, vibrant energy, and relentless creative fire. We may have traded the sun-drenched beaches and palm trees for Manhattan’s electric pulse and sound-treated walls, but we’ve successfully built an environment that is as friendly, bright, inviting, and reliable as the places we proudly call home.
We believe a relaxed, supportive atmosphere is the foundation for outstanding content. Come experience the Tradewinds difference: where professionalism and passion truly meet.
