Boise’s music scene just got a serious upgrade. Northwest Keys, a brand-new recording studio in the North End, is opening doors to musicians, content creators, and anyone looking to bring their creative visions to life. From seasoned pros to first-time studio-goers, this space is designed to be accessible, innovative, and inspiring for the growing Boise community.
Why It Matters
Northwest Keys isn’t just another studio it’s a sign of Boise’s evolving creative landscape. While cities like Los Angeles and New York are packed with studios, Boise has room for growth and innovation. Owner Dylan Cameron sees a unique opportunity to build a hub where local talent can thrive without the pressure of oversaturation.
Boise’s smaller but vibrant music scene is ready for a boost, and Northwest Keys provides exactly that: a professional, versatile, and welcoming space for artists to experiment, collaborate, and produce high-quality work.
What Northwest Keys Offers
Northwest Keys specializes in Hip-Hop/Rap, Reggaeton, and R&B, genres that are increasingly shaping Boise’s local sound. But the services go far beyond just recording music. Here’s what’s available:
Vocal tracking, instrument tracking, and beat making
Mixing & mastering, audio editing, and music production
Remote sessions and voice-over work
In-house engineer–assisted sessions or self-managed sessions
Sessions start at $25/hour, with flexible booking options online, by phone, or email. Whether you’re an independent artist trying to create your next single or a podcaster looking for high-quality audio, Northwest Keys has you covered.
Local Roots & Big Ambitions
Dylan Cameron brings over 13 years of industry experience to the project, and he’s committed to making Boise a place where artists can grow. Cameron points out that smaller markets like Boise allow more creative freedom, niche experimentation, and direct engagement with the community.
Northwest Keys isn’t stopping at recording sessions. Long-term plans include:
Workshops and educational programs to help new artists learn the craft
Live events that bring musicians and fans together
Artist development programs to support talent in producing, marketing, and releasing music
This kind of infrastructure is essential for a growing local music scene, giving both amateur and professional artists the tools they need to succeed.
