Hopscotch Recording Studios has received a USA recording-industry (RIAA) award.
The local recording studio, owned by Charles ‘Greg’ Gregory, scooped the award for contribution to a country-music CD, Rascal Flatts “Feels Like Today”, which has sold 6 million copies world-wide.
The backing vocals for the album were recorded over several days in October 2006 with Rascal Flatts engineer Bart Morris.
The group became acquainted with Cayman and Hopscotch Studios in appearances here in 2000 and 2001 through a series of country music concerts, arranged through the Department of Tourism with Nashville music producer Gene Dries. The band combined the recording sessions with some vacation time on Grand Cayman.
Hopstoch Studios has been in operation since 1995 and is equipped with state-of-the-art recording equipment.
‘It was a positive experience working with these guys,’ Greg said. ‘Their complete dedication to the work was very noticeable; it’s something more of our local musicians need to emulate. The music business now is so competitive. You have to give it your all if you want to succeed.’
