Some musicians travel to escape. Others travel to create.
For international artists looking to experience something new—culturally, emotionally, and musically—Cebu offers an unexpected answer: record your next song, EP, or album in a tropical island city where the pace slows down, the ocean is within reach, and inspiration is everywhere.
Every musician knows the power of environment. A new place can bring out new ideas, new sounds, new words. There’s something about waking up to sea breeze, hearing unfamiliar languages, tasting food that surprises you, and walking unfamiliar streets that shakes up your creative process. That’s what Cebu gives you. And it gives it to you daily.
Scottish singer-songwriter Robert Masson dropped by while on vacation to record vocals and have his original track mixed right here in the studio.
Cebu is a living rhythm. From the heartbeat of its city streets to the calm of its islands, it’s a place where music happens naturally. You’ll find centuries-old traditions living alongside indie cafes and coastal drives. It’s a place where a spontaneous collaboration could happen during a jam session on a rooftop, and then turn into a recorded track the next day.
Room Eleven Studios has become a quiet go-to for international musicians who want the real thing—a professional studio that doesn’t feel stiff. Our space is soundproofed but not soulless. It’s got the gear, the team, and the track record. We’ve welcomed artists from Berlin, Tokyo, LA, Barcelona, and beyond—each with their own story, each looking for something honest and creatively refreshing. While many choose to keep their process private, we have the footage to show the vibe: artists barefoot in the booth, late night takes with guitars still sandy from the beach, and moments where the music just… clicks.
Abe Emmanuel from New York recorded his ukulele and fine-tuned his track in the studio before heading back to the Big Apple.
This isn’t just about lower production costs—though that helps, too. It’s about tapping into a place that opens you up, slows you down, and reminds you why you make music in the first place. You’re not rushing. You’re flowing. And when you finally press record, the song feels alive because you feel alive.
You might come here with an idea and leave with an album. Or maybe you record just one perfect song that captures how this place made you feel. Either way, you take a part of it with you. That’s what Cebu offers. That’s what we offer.
We’re here when you’re ready.
