Welcome to Openroom Productions!

Openroom Productions was formed in 1999 when Darryl Torr began to freelance as a sound-engineer at RP Studios (now RBF) in the Johannesburg SABC Studio complex. Here, countless interactions with diverse bands and artists opened his eyes to their common need: a company offering a 'total production solution'. He rose to the challenge, and "hey-presto!" Openroom was born!

At Openroom it is our vision to aid artists with all the details involved in becoming successful in the music industry, and not simply to provide a studio where bands can record. Most of this happens naturally through our relationships with creative and brilliant people, which are slowly building into a network: a type of production community. It is our aim to link musicians into this community where they can access the resources they need to get the desired results.
