Phil Jaurigui is the President/CEO of the world famous Rock & Roll Studio in Hollywood called, Swing House, which has been in business for 12 years. He started the company out of desperation -- pursuing the Rock & Roll dream was not exactly lucrative. After being laid off from Capitol Records where he worked in the copy room, he found a building in total disrepair with affordable rent and learned to deal with the various miscreants who also called the block home. Slowly the business grew from 1 room to 3, and now there are at least 7 rooms in our "Rock & Roll Gallery". Including 2 sound stages, 3 rehearsal rooms, 2 recording studios, Radio broadcasting booths for SIRIUS Satellite Radio as well as a fully stocked rental and cartage department for outside productions.
Phil has been in various bands throughout his life, which has given him invaluable experience for a career in the music industry. As a guitarist, he was in several "could have been" bands on various labels and publishing companies. He also does live sound and has worked with some of the world's biggest bands ( Red Hot Chili Peppers, Audioslave, Eddie Vedder, Shelby Lynne, James Taylor and Concrete Blonde). He is also the co-creator of "The Summer Strummer" music festival in Santa Monica, CA which featured: The Donnas, Kinky, John Doe, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs among many others. Phil is now looking for bands and artists to produce that are energetic, focused and not afraid to break the mold. He has produced 2 albums for the teenage punks Orange, for Hell Cat/Epitaph. He also produced and manages the Tender Box with his co-conspirator, Warren Huart (The Thrills, Hot Hot Heat, Howie Day) for their own imprint, Swing House Quality Recordings.
