A couple of times in March I had the privilege of hanging out with a new friend called Nicky. Aside from being a musician and producer, he collects rare equipment.

Located behind his Los Feliz (Los Angeles) home, he built a studio in an old shed and filled it with his fantastic gear– beautiful pianos and vintage synthesizers, a number of solid state amps (his preference– no tube amps!), as well as guitars, reel to reels, even a staggering mixing board from the 70s.

The collection and space is so beautiful, it was selected to be shot for L’Uomo Vogue as part of a feature on collectors of rare and beautiful things.

I’ve been meaning to post this forever– really amazing stuff.. I can’t wait to return and see the studio completed.
