The Innertube Studio is
owned and operated primarily by Nick Kucel (pictured above). Nick
has dedicated his life to audio, and that's why you can be sure your
music is in the right hands. Many interesting things can be said
of Mr. Kucel and his accomplishments, but most important is the fact
that he loves music, really enjoys people, is easy to work with and is
very handsome.
