about us
ELEVATION MUSIC STUDIO:EST 2013
​
EMS is a recording studio, based in Kingston Ontario, Owned and operated by Ryan Lewis, that functions as a music school, artist development and artist management company; it was created, specifically to expose creative individuals to the world and business of the music industry, and prepare them to take on a professional, or vocational role, according to each individual's goals
We are able to provide audio recording solutions, within various platforms, and are also Source-Connect [standard] compliant.
The EMS culture is built on a non-negotiable value-system of trust, honesty, transparency & FUN.
Your satisfaction is our number one objective.
​
OUR DNA
Our main goal, at EMS, is to cultivate a movement that truly understands what it means to work as a team. None of us can truly make it on our own; even the thought of building an empire, alone, seems so redundant-since the concept of building, involves a system of individual entities, which are reinforced, only when they are compiled with other like entities... you know: that idea of brick upon brick; precept upon precept.
​
We want to help nurture and fine-tune the craft of each artist, not necessarily to conform to a specific format, but simply to be the best version of themselves. The best athletes in the world all have something in common: Yes, they train; yes, they study; yes, they perform, but they all have and individual, who pushes them, past the threshold of normal limits, so that they seem to stand a bit taller, than the rest of us mortals; that, in its simplest explanation, is what we endeavour to accomplish.
​
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT (LESSONS)
At EMS, we do things a bit differently: We endeavor to create an atmosphere that points towards enabling and empowering each artist to be able to pursue a career in music, should they so desire.
Elevation Music Studio is an audio recording establishment that offers music and artist development for both beginners and professionals, in a fun and safe environment.
​
Artists are encouraged to develop the live performance, studio performance, and songwriting skills; along with the discipline it takes to market and promote their work.
​
Names/Titles are very important, as it relates to perception.
We refer to students as: artists/junior artists;
We refer to lesson times, as: sessions;
We refer to lessons as: development

WHAT OTHERS
ARE SAYNG
“I’ve had the exceptionally good fortune of working with Ryan on and off for the last five years. On stage he is electric; engaging the audience and simply nailing his performances with precision. Off stage he is organized, meticulous and professional. Ryan has an intrinsic knowledge of his craft, which is so rare and so necessary these days.”
