TESTIMONIALS
Anthony Mutharajah Steve Sidwell - Frederic Yonnet -The Brand New Heavies
I don’t know where to begin, but Assaad delivers beyond what is needed to make a session successful. Highly recommend his studio if you’re looking to put together your music or even need a producer to help out. Much love to Bull Funk Studios!
Rodney Barreto Chucho Valdes - Omara Portuondo - Havana de Primera
I strongly recommend Assaad’s studio. All the equipment is high quality and everything sounds perfect. But the most important thing is Assaad will make you feel completely comfortable, he will help with everything you need to get your sound and his qualities as a musician, sound engineer, producer are amazing. I really spent a great time recording there. Thank you so much my brother

I’ve worked on a few projects at Bull Funk Studios. Assaad is always super creative and always on top of it. It’s just smooth sailing in there at all times.
And the gear in this studio is insane!
Marlon Van Maastricht Zero Expectations
Had an amazing time working with Assaad | Bull Funk Zoo at Bull Funk Studios with a fantastic end result. I recorded my Punk Pop track “One Last Time” here and this will be the first of many projects I will be doing there! BFZ mixed and mastered the track to perfection.

With modernized outboard gear, a space that he'll specifically transform for your music and his expertise/input - the experience at Bull Funk Studios will make you feel right at home. Highly recommend!"

"Had a blast tracking our album at Bull Funk Studios. Assad’s knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. Made us feel super welcome and offered great advice when it was necessary. All tracks sounding crisp and clean. Bull Funk studios is the real deal. The coffee is good too. Couldn’t recommend enough."
Jay Stewart DJ - Producer - Drummer
I went to record a drum sample pack with Assaad and it was an excellent experience! This man knows his tech and is an all round ace engineer! I loved the experience from start to finish! And even learnt a few techniques along the way! This is the only studio I would use in Dubai. Very very high quality indeed with excellent gear! Plus Assaad makes an excellent coffee! @ 5 stars from me.
