Sunset Sound is one of Los Angeles’s premier recording studios. Perched along Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood, the company has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment, from Janis Joplin and Led Zeppelin to The Rolling Stones and Prince. Singer Miley Cyrus even recorded her 2023 hit “Flowers” there—a song that recently garnered her the first two Grammy Awards of her career. However, despite the studio’s success, the recent uptick in homelessness may soon force the iconic recording studio to close its doors for good.
“We’ve been here 64 years. We’ve made some of the most iconic records that have been done in the industry here,” Paul Camarata, the studio’s president and second-generation owner, told ABC7. “And now we’ve got to deal with this homeless problem that is potentially putting us out of business.”
