In 1968, legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix commissioned John Storyk to design the New York recording studio Electric Lady<\/a>. After it opened in 1970, it became a recording home for acts including Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder and David Bowie.<\/p>\n

More than 50 years later, Storyk has brought his design vision to Atlanta in the form of Violet Isle, a west Midtown studio that opened last year. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n
