Robert & Tina Lang
Community Arts Impact Award
We're delighted to present the 2022 Community Impact award to Tina and Robert in recognition of their immeasurable contributions to the music industry, both at home and around the world.
For the past 47 years, Robert and Tina Lang have co-owned Robert Lang Studios, a major recording studio in Shoreline WA.
Working with artists like Madonna, Queen, Dolly Parton and Lenny Kravitz, Tina is nationally recognized for her innovation . In 2020 Tina formed Robert Lang Studios Academy, a vocational school for aspiring music producers and audio engineers.
After living with MS for over 40 years, Tina is an advocate and mentor for the National MS Society and is determined to find a cure for MS and other autoimmune diseases in her lifetime.
A Seattle native, Robert has poured his heart and soul into the recording studio since 1973. Artists including Nirvana, Dave Matthews, Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Steven and Damian Marley, and Peter Frampton have called the studio their home. Through the decades, Robert and his team have recorded hundreds of local artists like The Sonics, Death Cab for Cutie and Macklemore.
Robert still enjoys studio tech work and being a mentor to many. He's even considering including a small recording studio in the Punta Mita home he's building, with plans to “eventually” retire there.
"Working with ShoreLake Arts, in particular the Battle of the Bands has been very rewarding, ... I love discovering new local talent and finding a way to help them succeed."
