Founding story

Qube founders Amin Hamzianpour and Nicholas Sonuga met in a dingy studio basement, bonding over the perfect snare sample and shared frustrations. Tired of empty studios, high rents, and isolation, they envisioned Qube: a flexible, professional studio membership where creators can work, socialise, and inspire each other.

Amin Hamzianpour - Ex-investment banker turned music producer with 10+ million streams. After graduating from Oxford, Amin began his career in investment banking. He later quit his job to become a music producer under the name A-Minor, accumulating over 10 million streams and signing with major labels like Ministry Of Sound, Spinnin’ Records, Polydor, Warner Music, and Universal Music.

Nicholas Sonuga - DJ and promoter turned studio entrepreneur. As a music producer and qualified sound engineer, Nick has extensive knowledge of building music and content studios. Before Qube, he cut his teeth in various pockets of the UK music industry - ranging from respected DJ and promoter on London’s club circuit, through to producing and engineering in his independently run recording studio. Having already used his entrepreneurial skills to dabble in property development within the creative sector, Nick launched a portfolio of short and long-term hire studios across London.

Qube Access

Qube is launching Qube Access, a program aimed at creators from underrepresented or disenfranchised communities. The initiative offers £10,000 worth of free studio memberships to be distributed amongst selected creators in music production, DJing, podcasting, and photography/videography who've been held back by lack of resources.

Qube was founded on the principle that world-class creative spaces should be within reach of serious creators. Amin Hamzianpour and Nicholas Sonuga, both producers and DJs themselves, envisioned a network where top-tier studios, cutting-edge equipment, and invaluable connections come together.

"Qube Access is the natural evolution of our founding vision. As we expand into new locations, it's crucial that we contribute positively to local communities," says CEO Amin Hamzianpour. "We want to break down the barriers that keep talented creators from doing their best work."

Qube Access is more than just free studio time. It's a chance to:

Use top-tier equipment and studios for music, content and photography
Connect with Qube’s community of creators
Access communal member spaces for co-working
Attend Qube member events

While the program is self-led, participants will have opportunities to connect with industry professionals and attend member events, should they choose. Qube is providing the space and tools, but the direction comes from the creators themselves.

The program aims to level the playing field in the creative industry by removing financial obstacles to professional-grade equipment and spaces. Qube Access seeks applicants who:

Have begun their creative journey in music or content
Can demonstrate how studio access will positively impact their career
Face financial constraints that limit their access to professional studio spaces
Bring diverse perspectives to their field

Importantly, Qube Access will give special consideration to residents in areas where Qube sites are based: Elephant and Castle, Hackney Wick, Canary Wharf, and Park Royal. This focus on local talent underscores Qube's commitment to nurturing creativity within their immediate communities.

Applications for Qube Access are open until 1st of December, 2024. For more information, visit Qube.
