“Marty is such a versatile and thorough musician. He works very quickly and bends all musical conventions to his will with total ease. It's rare to find such a consummate musician who is equally adept as producer in the studio"
EVAN BUIST

​
“Marty is a gifted musician and composer with A-grade production chops & an incredible sounding studio. He’s a true virtuoso on the guitar with a Knofler-esque touch - some of the coolest playing you’ll hear. Marty is the consummate professional, he loves his job and is a complete joy to work with."
MAGNUS COLLIE
PRODUCER
​
"One of my absolute favourite studios to work in. The open plan Live Room/Control Room set up makes for seamless communication between engineers and musicians. It's a great sounding space with multiple iso booths if needed. It's a comfortable, relaxed environment. All of the bands I've taken there have loved it.
Excellent selection of microphones, outboard and backline. All of which are maintained to a high standard. Marty is great to work with as well."

"Marty at Metro13 Music is an absolute legend and industry professional. His musicianship is second to none, with creativity oozing from his fingertips. He is also a delight to work with and has an excellent ear! I have had Marty play guitar and bass on several projects with my studio based in Brisbane, Australia, and he in Edinburgh, Scotland. I trust him implicitly with any style or genre of music, knowing he will deliver exactly what the tracks need, with superb sonic quality. I thoroughly recommend him and his studio for any music project or production."

"I have recently recorded an EP with Marty @Metro13Music. I can’t recommend highly enough. Metro13 a beautiful, welcoming studio and creative space. Marty is a wonderful producer, musician, engineer and a great human to boot. His years of experience in the industry are apparent, both in his musicianship and sound production. Incredibly happy with my EP. If you are looking for a studio to work in or a great producer, look no further, this is gold."
CRAIG ILLOT
DIRECTOR
​
“There’s no doubt Marty is an extremely accomplished musician, but he also understands the importance of the visual in a theatrical experience. He knows when music should serve and when it should soar - and he deftly enables both. No doubt these are some of the reasons he also makes such a fine MD. He cares deeply about the product and is a wonderful collaborator to have at your side.”
MIKE BAILLE
ARTIST - THE LONELY TOGETHER
​
"Fantastic studio and service! Instantly made to feel at home by Marty and thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with many items from his impressive gear inventory. Nothing was too much trouble and the conversation and ideas flow freely, as Marty is such a positive, creative force. 100% would recommend and will be back for more asap! Thank you, Metro13!"

“Marty Hailey (Metro13Music) has been a superb engineer to work with, having done far more than just pushing buttons. He has assisted me at every turn with his fresh technical and musical insights."
DELTA MAINLINE
BAND
​
"We booked a few days to put down some finishing touches on a record working with Marty. The work flow and production quality that we achieved in these days had us booking additional sessions. Marty has an amazing work ethic, is diligent when exploring sounds and really knows his studio and equipment which makes for mega productive sessions. But, more importantly Marty is sound and is a pleasure to work with. We had such a good experience that we’ve decided to mix half our new record at Metro 13. Metro 13 arguably has one of the best synth and amps collections in the country. Marty is a super productive and creative engineer/producer and a world class musician. If you want to make great music in Scotland Metro 13 is a place to get that done."
ZED JONES
MUSICIAN
​
"Working with Marty Hailey @ Metro13 Music is an experience I will relish for years to come and the product produced is way above and beyond my expectations and yet so true to its original vision. This takes a truly caring and talented musician/producer/studio to achieve. The care and masterful use and understandings of specific gear for specific reasons and the sonic stability of the studio makes it a grand place to work and create."

“Marty's film scores get to the emotional core of the story unfolding on screen and help us to understand it. They clarify and bring into sharp focus the interior lives of the characters whose journeys we are following, and help us to laugh and to cry.."
Hope Dickson-Leach

​
“Working with Marty was a brilliantly organic, collaborative experience. He was able to create the perfect tracks in a swift turn around time. It allowed me to incorporate the music into our film in advance which helped so much with the vision of the project."
KEVIN PENKIN
COMPOSER
​
“Having worked with Marty on the Spice and Wolf soundtrack, I’m in awe of the dedication he brought to every aspect of his work. The absolute craft and tenacity he gave as an artist cannot be over-exaggerated and it was a deep honour to be able to work with him. I can’t wait for our next adventure!”
OLLIE RAPHAEL

​
“Marty is a genuine, honest composer who tackles every project with care and attention. He is clearly rooted in live recording and authentic production. He is a melody maker, composing strong themes, beautiful hooks and always delivering high quality music.”
CHARLTON HILL

​
“Marty Hailey is an emotionally intuitive multi-instrumentalist, composer and music producer. His awareness and attention to detail in the nuances of storytelling in his compositions is palpable. As a collaborator, Marty is creatively generous and exciting making him a go-to guy on any project.”
CORINNE HARRIS

​
"Highly recommend Marty at Metro 13 Music. For a pianist like myself, it was a joy to have a grand to play on as opposed to a keyboard. Really helped my studio nerves as he made everything as ‘live’ feeling as possible. He has experience producing professional singers and bands as well as theatre companies, like ourselves, so understood exactly what we were looking for. The end result is wonderful. Many thanks to Marty and Co for their input and musicianship. Nb. He is also a terrific musician."
ANNIE GRIFFIN
DIRECTOR
​
"It was a pleasure working with you on the soundtrack to LOGAN HIGH. I like that you came up with clear ideas for the music straight away, and were able to get on with it. Your music was bold and distinctive enough to give the programme a sense of its own world - which is what we’re always looking for in a soundtrack. Thank you!"
GAVIN TURNBULL

​
“Marty brings his talent as a performer and his musical expertise with his love of cinema to any project we collaborate on. Whether it’s a short theme, a trailer score or ideas for full length documentaries he’ll combine his own style with a pushing of boundaries to find the perfect accompaniment for the story and pictures”
