OUR STORY
The Making of Bitesize Music
From the beginning, Bitesize Music's goals were simple and straight-forward: to create an accessible music hub for Bahrain, to offer 360-degree services for clients and musicians on the island, and to raise awareness of the local talent pool and growing music scene. It all started in June 2016, when two young creative individuals decided to combine their music skills and start building their dream of artistic unity - to bring the fragmented local artists under one integrated community and share their combined creativity with the world.Their vision has further expanded into an interconnected hub of musical services ranging from recording, mixing and mastering in a modern studio, to managing musicians and developing their artistic image, booking live gigs, and participating in festivals. For Bitesize Music, sound matters. The team comprises highly experienced audio experts who's attention-to-sound is second to none. As a result, any live performances and music services to date have been characterised as crisp, professional, balanced, and acoustically optimised, allowing audiences to purely focus on the music.
