UPSTAGE
STUDIOS.
The infrastructure serious artists deserve.
A recording studio, an artist development program, software for performers, and a roster of selected talent — operating out of Ottawa, run by a producer and a performer who couldn’t find what they needed and decided to build it.

The Idea
A producer.A performer.One company.
Upstage is a family-owned entertainment company. A producer and a performer building the infrastructure we wished existed for ourselves and the artists we care about.
Every division operates the same way. We’re selective about who we work with, and uncompromising about how we work. Whether you’re a teen recording your first song, a Broadway-bound performer prepping an audition, or a developer building tools for working artists — we treat the craft like it matters.
We’re not building this for everyone. We’re building it for artists who are serious about their work and want partners who match that energy.
Four Divisions · One Philosophy
One company. Four ways we work.
Cohort · 1:1 Coaching
