Already a trusted name among musicians around the globe, D’Addario is now adding a new dimension to its presence in Los Angeles with the launch of its Artist Lounge at CenterStaging Studios. The new space is a creative hub for artists to explore gear, refine their sound, and connect with D’Addario’s expert team.
If you're not already familiar, D’Addario is the world’s leading manufacturer of instrument strings and accessories. The company is behind some of the most respected brands in the business, including EVANS Drumheads, ProMark Drumsticks, D’Addario Woodwinds, and D’Addario Orchestral products. Known for its consistency, innovation, and high performance, D’Addario has long been a go-to for musicians who demand quality and reliability from their gear.
The new Artist Lounge, located at the iconic CenterStaging Studios in Burbank, is designed to serve as a welcoming environment for artists based in or passing through Los Angeles. According to a statement from the company, the space is “designed as a casual, welcoming environment for musicians… seeking insights about gear, aiming to refine their sound, or looking to optimize their instruments.” Think of it as a place where creativity meets hands-on support.
To mark the opening, D’Addario hosted an exclusive launch event on April 24th, bringing together a mix of company leadership, artist relations pros, and an impressive guest list of musicians. In attendance were Jim D’Addario (Chairman of the Board and Chief Innovation Officer), John D’Addario III (CEO), and a host of acclaimed artists including Brian Frasier Moore, Dirk Verbeuren, Bruno Valverde, Monte Pittman, Bob Reynolds, and Eliza James, among others. It was a fitting way to introduce a space centered on connection, creativity, and community.
The lounge will be managed by Aaron Vishria, Director of Artist Relations, and Thomas Berg, Artist Relations Specialist—both equipped to offer personalized guidance, gear recommendations, and support tailored to each artist’s needs.
As the company puts it, musicians can “experience the artistry, innovation, and community at the D’Addario Artist Lounge at CenterStaging Studios—where great sound begins.”
