Great for all ages! Emo is such an amazing professional. My kids came to Granted Records to record a fun medley of songs as a unique gift for Father's Day. They chose a few of Dad's favorite songs from the 80s to sing...and even though Dad's faves weren't easy to sign or in their range, Emo helped them make the songs their own. He is so patient and charming with the kids! My kids appreciated working with him, and said "He's so nice!" They had a great time in their first studio session. Dad is surely going to love his custom gift... made with love from the heart, captured in song and video ❤!!

Granted Records and Emo are exceptionally skilled and talented in recording and producing independent artists music. Superb. Listens to the clients needs and delivers results timely. Great communication between Emo and our artists. The best in the OC area I’ve seen in 20 years in the music industry. Works great with child artists at well. Thanks Emo !

Recording at Granted Records was an amazing experience for The Living Ghosts. Emo is an incredibly talented producer who churns out top of the line mixes. He is a dedicated professional who has built his brand on great customer service. Worth every penny, will definitely record at Granted in the future!

I've had the pleasure of working with multiple producers out in Chicago, and let me tell you EMO is not just a producer, he's a full blow musician(who understands music theory!!) He was really good at listening to my ideas and provided great input on how to bring the project to life. His attention to detail and creative way of layering would give any inspiring artist goosebumps. This is my official producer, thank you for all your hard work my friend. We've got more hits on the way, I'll see you in the studio soon.

I had the very best studio experience with Granted Records and producer Emad Alaeddin. This was my very first time recording, and I felt confident and encouraged from start to finish. I had a zoom with Emad the week prior where we discussed my song of choice, and from my lyrics and melody, he built the chord progression and from there he layered all the necessary music and percussion and my song was born. It was incredibly helpful to have two tracks at the end of that zoom session, one with the lyrics and one with out, from those scratch recordings I was able to practice, makes notes, and prepare myself for studio time! Emad is such a calm, and inspiring instructor, I have never felt nervous to sing in his presence and he truly brings out the best vocal performances. He gives great feedback, but he really wants you to steer the ship and let him know your opinion on the direction you want your music to go. That and who wouldn't want a producer who calls you "Rockstar" even if I am far from! 😊 Even after my song was mixed and mastered, and I mentioned a small part that I was concerned about, he jumped right in to listen and adjust it to my liking. Emad is just so amazing and professional, if you are looking to record an album, or a single, or just work on vocal techniques, I highly recommend Granted Records and Emad Alaeddin, just a solid five star experience.

Granted Records is an amazing place for someone looking to further their Musical Talents.
Everyone is so kind and friendly it’s like one big Family. I highly recommend Granted Records.
My daughter was really wanting to sing and now she is singing and learning the Bass guitar.
Emo is so thoughtful and caring and his musical Knowledge is out of this world.
Thank you for putting the ligt back into my mini.

I am so glad that I found Emo on Thumbtack! I was searching for someone to make some complex edits for a high school pep rally dance routine. Although the theme was an extremely tough one to work with, he was able to create a great mix for us in a very short amount of time. He also made adjustments for me after I heard the track and made sure to get the job done! He was extremely responsive and easy to work with. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Emad is in one word AMAZING! He is an awesome guitar and vocal coach and just recently opened this recording studio in Santa Ana called Granted Records. he teaches guitar to my son Sam who is 14, and Sam absolutely loves him and is practicing every day - which is pretty unbelievable to us. Emad is able to connect with people (and my teenager) in such a wonderful way and is really motivating my son to reach for his guitar and not his cell phone! My son just started with Emad only a couple of months ago, and he is already playing complicated chords and notes. I would strongly recommend him for anyone struggling with a lisp (did I mention he is an expert with other types of vocal training), wants to learn guitar, wants to record a song or learn to sing or just someone who loves music and wants to get better! He also plays with several local OC bands, is a successful artist and recently came back from a tour to Germany. I don't know how he does it all, but am glad we found him. Thanks Emad!!
