The genesis of the Metalworks story begins with the incorporation of Design Staging Inc. on October 11, 1977; a sound
company, management hub, and creative workspace for legendary Canadian Music Hall of Fame Inductees Triumph. As
Triumph’s ascent into rock hierarchy evolved, the company’s name was changed to Metalworks. While the initial focus was on
studio recording, the Metalworks brand ultimatelty expanded to embrace multiple facets of th entertainment industry - from
recording to live event production to education.
Metalworks Studios has maintained an unsurpassed level of excellence spanning over three decades; recognized for an
unprecedented twelve consecutive years as “Recording Studio of the Year” at the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry
Awards. The studios have played host to an illustrious array of international recording artists, producers and film stars, and
have maintained a vital role in the continuing development of up-and-coming new talent.

more than I could have asked for. I learned about every side of the music industry

in the music industry but doesn’t know where to start, I have two words for them:
