RDS Music is a music production company and recording studio made up of carefully selected and experienced songwriters, producers, and engineers. It was founded in 2013 by recording artist Ramzi (full name Ramzi Sleiman), who, in addition to gaining millions of Spotify streams and YouTube views, a Gold-selling album, and a performance at BAFTA among other prestigious accolades, has more than two decades' worth of experience working behind the scenes as a songwriter, music producer, vocal arranger, musician, and recording/mix engineer.
As an artist and singer himself, Ramzi has a unique way of relating to artists and shares his wealth of experience on every project. He is renowned for guiding singers through the vocal recording process while arranging, editing, and mixing vocals to the highest standards. Ramzi is also proficient in leading and producing choirs and arranging strings. For choir productions, he often uses just a few singers to achieve outstanding results. As a musician and multi-instrumentalist with a broad study of different genres, he infuses true musicianship and timeless musicality into every project.
Over the years, Ramzi has had the pleasure of working with renowned artists such as Amy Winehouse, The Overtones, Rudimental, The Backstreet Boys, Taio Cruz, Kenny Thomas, Lulu, and many others, while also developing several artists to the point of becoming established. He has worked on songs featured in the Eurovision Song Contest for Albania and San Marino, as well as submissions for Switzerland and Malta. He has also produced songs and albums for contestants on Britain's Got Talent and AGT Allstars, most notably Tom Ball, as well as for contestants on Strictly Come Dancing. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with reputable record labels, distributors, and music publishers such as Sony Music, Universal, Atlantic, Absolute, and Believe, among numerous others in the UK and internationally, across a range of genres. Ramzi and the RDS Music team have also been involved in producing music and content for animated videos, radio/TV shows, and musicals, with their work featured on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Our studio offers a spacious, welcoming, and creative atmosphere, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and acoustic treatment. Ideally located in Wembley Park, London, it has easy transport links and is just a stone's throw from Wembley Stadium and other attractions such as Boxpark, cafes, restaurants, and shops.
Studio A is our flagship studio, featuring a stunning Petrof baby grand piano (which we call 'Melody'), along with other high-quality instruments, state-of-the-art pro audio and studio equipment, and iconic microphones from Neumann, Telefunken, Shure, and more."

Studio B is a cozy space with excellent sound treatment, perfectly set up for plug and play. With a more basic yet high-end setup, the studio is centered around a Universal Audio Apollo interface, Focal monitors, a MIDI keyboard, and a Neumann TLM 103 microphone. It also has access to all of our microphones and other gear when needed.
Studio B is also used as a live room for Studio A to track singers and musicians. Like Studio A, it is fitted with air conditioning, dimmable multicoloured LED spotlights, and comfortable seating, making it a great room for getting the creative juices flowing.
I've been recording with Ramzi at RDS Studios since 2016 and I have had such a great experience there every single time. The facilities are top notch and Ramzi is such a fantastic producer; as a successful recording artist and musician himself, he knows exactly what a musician/vocalist needs and he really knows his stuff! I always come out with material I'm so proud of. I'm so grateful and I wouldn't go anywhere else... he is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Genius comes to mind when I think of Ramzi. The BEST producer, artist & songwriter and just on another level. Not only will Ramzi take the time to get to know you, your style of music but will come up with current melodies and hooks that will blow you away. He's professional, a perfectionist with an excellent ear and a really lovely, down to earth person with a personality to match. I always leave the sessions with the biggest smile on my face and my expectations surpassed. If you want your music to be up there and on a world class level - he's your man.
Amazing studio with high quality equipment, since using RDS i've stopped booking sessions at the previous studios i've worked at.
Very professional and able to understand the client’s requests for the best possible outcome. Good quality and service, definitely recommended :)
