KAJ DAHISTROM Oil on Canvas 120 w x 150 h cm NFS Artist’s Statement Kaj Dahlstrom has been the studio manager/owner of Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne and responsible for its creation, with others, in the early 80s. Many of the best Australian music acts and overseas performers have recorded their projects at the studio. The last couple of decades had him running the studio with his partner Jude. As my role as a Music Recording Engineer, I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Kaj and Jude for many years and call him a good friend. It was great to be able to paint him, knowing him so well. |
