Cut Off Studios

Cut Off Studios was founded in 2014 by Nick Hunter and Matthew Zager. The two met at Roberts Wesleyan College, as members of the all-male a cappella group, Vocal Infusion. After college, Matt and Nick, along with other Roberts a cappella alumni, founded the post collegiate group, Cut Off. After recording an EP with Liquid 5th Productions, Nick became interested in the production side of a cappella music and started working on his own recording projects. The two began collaborating on projects together and thus began Cut Off Studios!

Rachael sits down with Matt, Kiara, and Alyssa to talk about what the studio has been up to during the pandemic, including recording all sorts of projects, virtual choirs, and their newest endeavor, MC2.0.
