Our History

Founded in 2020 amidst the challenges of the Covid era, The Soft Drink Studios was born from the vision of Aakarshan Dutta. This creative endeavor stemmed from the need to make resources accessible to local talents and offer online audio solutions. The studio takes its name from Aakarshan’s band, also known as The Soft Drink.

Initially established as a Home Studio catering to the needs of local musicians and talents, The Soft Drink Studios has evolved to provide audio solutions on a broader scale, transcending geographical boundaries through online platforms. Started with offline classes tailored for aspiring beginners unable to pursue professional courses, the studio now extends the same opportunity through affordable & flexible online classes.

At the heart of our mission is the motto #vocalforlocal. We are dedicated to promoting local and emerging talent, creating a platform that nurtures artistic growth and provides opportunities to those with immense potential. Join us at The Soft Drink Studios, where music meets innovation, and dreams find their melody.
