Rockgarden Studio: Press

The following are genuine guestbook entries from my previous site:

"Dean! I had so much fun recording and the end results were awesome! You rock! Thanks so much!"

"What can I say? Dean Bohana Rocks!!!"

"Hey Dean- I'm looking to do some more work this fall- sometime late Sept. The last project you did for me put me on the map! You're truly one of a kind!PEACE! -jasin"

"Hey Dean! Thanks so much for all you've done with my songs! They're turning out better than they were in my head, and MUCH better than on that old tape. I'll be back soon and I still owe you a dinner! :)"

"Sup Dean! I had a great time recording my EP with you and it really came out amazing. Im so happy with the end product and was so impressed with your production skills and your, ehm, unique/interesting/Wierd Al Yankovic-like-but enjoyable sense of humor. I originally came in to your studio seeking to make a simple demo and left with something I am very proud of. Awesome job man!"

"Dean...You're an absolute genius! Your keyboard playing skills are second to none and your production chops rule!!!"

"Never have we seen such a world class blend of all the talents you bring to the table (playing, arranging, mixing & mastering. Truly awe inspiring!
I knew Dean from elementary through college. He was cranking out everything on the piano from Ludwig van Beethoven to Led Zeppelin as long as I can remember. I always knew he'd put his amazing creative talent to good use. This recording studio is proof in the pudding."

"If you're reading this, then you're a phone call away from setting up the best recording session you've ever had, and a couple sessions from having a pocketful or even a full CD of your tunes - like you've imagined and then some."

"If you're a singer-songwriter who plays guitar or piano, or if you just sing - you owe it to yourself and your music to set up an appointment to check out Rockgarden. Dean is not only talented, but funny in a way that keeps the whole session light and positive. He works quickly but thoroughly, has the ability to add to your music through improvisation or follow a structured pattern, and is also a tremendous resource in terms of your general musical career development."

"Hi Dean hello from Russia see you soon, .Alex"

"Hey Dean! Cool new website.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you did on my album. It turned out amazing. If anyone is reading this and trying to decide whether or not they want to record at Rockgarden...do it! Dean is great! He has an amazing ear for music, he knows exactly what needs to get done and how do to it, and he tells funny jokes (sometimes ). Plus it's ridiculously cheap for the quality you get.
I recorded a 10 song CD with dean that you can listen to at:
www.DelanceyBand.com
Some songs have live drums and bass, some songs have Dean playing the drums and bass. You try to figure out the difference!
No, dean didn't pay me to write this, i just really liked recording with him.
So thanks dean!"

"Great work in the studio! And great website..!"

"can't wait to hear you live :)"
best,Hannah

"Medusa Records represents the winner of the American Idol for Latin America, it was called "Protaganista de la musica" her name is Barbara. Barbara is a first rate entertainer with a tremendous future ahead of her. We got her release from Sony Discos. Her original cd master was recorded in florida which cost sony upwards of $80,000. When Medusa took control of the master, we opted to eliminate several songs and to put Barbara back into the studio. We chose Rock garden because frankly, our budget was weighted more toward video and promotion rather than incremental studio time. Dean worked his magic for a fraction of what other studios wanted and since than we have incorporated those songs onto our cd. By the way, the quality is a perfect match. Thank you Dean for a Job very well done. Is genius too strong? -Andy"
