WES LACHOT DESIGN GROUP
The conversation between AMA Founder, Darius James, and AMA Recording Studio Designer, Wes Lachot, dates back to about 2012, well before anyone knew that a project of this magnitude was possible. None the less, Darius and Wes stayed in touch through the years; and when the green-light was given, the choice of who would design this studio was as clear as Anguilla’s waters.
