In this episode, we’re talking to recording industry veteran, Juanita Copeland. Juanita has lived in Nashville since 1990 and has worked for Mercury Records, Almo Sounds Records, Pioneer Music Group, GMF Music and Hippo Productions. She is the long-time President, COO and General Manager of the iconic recording studio Sound Emporium, one of Nashville’s busiest and longest-operating commercial studios with clients that include Willie Nelson, Kacey Musgraves, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Kenny Chesney and Maren Morris – just to name a few! Her management style and leadership are the main reasons the multi-room studio continues to thrive to this day and she treats clients like “family” and creates a positive “vibe” for them to create and record. Juanita has a life-long passion for animals and has a farm North of Nashville that she shares with her rescued pot-belly pigs, rabbits and dogs. She also volunteers for Alive Hospice, Animal Rescue Corps, and supports Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and the Ocean Conservancy.
