Member of the Month Spotlight: Music City Studios
This month, we’re honored to feature Music City Studios (MCS) as our Member of the Month — a shining example of how talent, passion, and dedication can elevate not only individual artists, but an entire community.
Founded by Scott and Gayle Frick, MCS has become a cornerstone for professional recording and video production in Northeast Louisiana. From their state-of-the-art facility in West Monroe, they offer everything from high-quality music and vocal recordings to audiobook narration, podcasts, commercials, and social media content, along with digitization of precious tapes, reels, VHS, and 8mm home movies. Their studio truly does it all — and does it exceptionally well.
Setting the Bar for Excellence
What sets Music City Studios apart is their unwavering commitment to the highest standards of sound and production quality, rivaling major studios in Nashville, New York, or Los Angeles. With over 53 years of industry experience, Scott and Gayle have created an environment where artists of every level — from emerging singer-songwriters to established musicians — can expect meticulous attention to detail, personalized guidance, and recordings that exceed their expectations.
Clients regularly praise the warmth, professionalism, and encouragement they experience at MCS. “They helped me find my voice,” one local musician shared. “They took my songs to a level I didn’t think was possible.” It’s this commitment to artistry and service that has earned MCS a stellar reputation and made them a trusted partner for anyone seeking professional audio and video services.
Impacting the Local Arts Community
Beyond their studio walls, Music City Studios plays a vital role in nurturing the creative economy of our region. By offering a world-class recording facility right here in West Monroe, Scott and Gayle help keep our area’s talented musicians, producers, and creators from having to leave Northeast Louisiana to pursue their dreams. They’ve given countless artists the tools and support they need to succeed, contributing to a vibrant local arts scene that enriches our entire community.
Supporting the Next Generation
MCS also partners with universities like Louisiana Tech and ULM, providing internships that give students rare, real-world experience in a professional studio. These opportunities not only prepare future engineers and producers for careers in the industry, but also encourage them to stay and build their lives and businesses right here at home.
Chamber Connections and Community Spirit
Scott and Gayle credit their Chamber membership with helping them connect to like-minded businesses and organizations, expanding their reach for commercial projects, video production, and even original music for advertising campaigns. They love being part of a business community that values relationships and supports one another.
Inspiration & Gratitude
Scott’s passion for music was ignited by his father, and he credits his father-in-law with teaching him the importance of leadership and integrity in business. But his biggest supporter and inspiration has always been Gayle, who shares his commitment to excellence and the joy of bringing people’s dreams to life.
Words of Wisdom for Fellow Entrepreneurs
Scott’s advice for others pursuing their passions: “Focus on what you’re truly good at. Trying to do everything can dilute your strengths. Research your market and choose a path you love — because if you’re not happy doing it, it’s just not worth it.”
Life Beyond the Studio
When they aren’t creating amazing recordings or guiding artists toward their best work, Scott and Gayle love exploring the outdoors, camping, boating, and cherishing time with their children, grandchildren, and extended family.
A Community Treasure
Music City Studios exemplifies the spirit of creativity, professionalism, and generosity that makes our region special. We’re proud to celebrate Scott, Gayle, and the entire MCS team for their outstanding contributions to our business community and to the flourishing local arts scene.
