About Us.

AT STUDIO 16, WE TURN TALENT INTO OPPORTUNITY.

You’re not just another musician—you’re an artist with a story, a dream, and a fire that deserves the right stage. That’s where we come in.

We specialize in connecting top-tier talent with life-changing opportunities on cruise ships.

We’re not just another provider – we’re a powerhouse team that only works with the best of the best: rockstars.

Who we are?

You know that feeling when you hear a band or artist that just gets you? That’s exactly what Studio 16 Entertainment is all about—bringing music and entertainment that speaks to the soul. With many years in the industry, we’ve rocked the world, providing top-tier talent to luxurious hotels, cruise ships, and global stages.

But let’s rewind. We weren’t always working with the best of the best. Like many musicians, we started in small bars and weddings, hustling for every gig. With hard work, passion, and a relentless drive, we turned our dreams into reality—performing in breathtaking locations we once only imagined.

Now, we’re here to do the same for you. We don’t just book acts; we build careers. We champion artists, helping them land the perfect gig at sea—so they can live their passion to the fullest.

With Studio 16, your journey isn’t just a pursuit—it’s an adventure waiting to unfold.

At Studio 16, we’re all about putting the «pro» in professional. Our team is stacked with experts who know how to source the absolute best talent in the game and get them booked in record time. We’ve got connections that would make your head spin – which means we can match artists with opportunities like nobody’s business.

But here’s the thing: we don’t just work with anyone. We hand-pick each and every musician that joins our roster, because we’re not just about making a quick buck – we’re committed to bringing the very best to our clients all around the world.

So if you’re a musician looking to take things to the next level, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll give you the tools and support you need to succeed, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out.

At Studio 16, the sky’s the limit – and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

At the heart of our mission lies a simple yet profound goal: to provide each of our performers with the opportunity of a lifetime. We’re committed to guiding them through every stage of their journey. We believe in empowering our artists to soar to new heights, unlocking their full potential, and ultimately transforming their lives for the better.

More than just a business entity, we pride ourselves on fostering a supportive community where our performers feel valued, supported, and encouraged. We understand that the road to success can be challenging, which is why we strive to provide not only opportunities but also mentorship, resources, and a network of like-minded individuals dedicated to personal and professional growth.

Whether it’s offering advice, providing constructive feedback, or celebrating achievements, we’re here every step of the way, ensuring that our performers feel empowered to pursue their passions and fulfill their dreams. Join us, and let’s embark on this transformative journey together.

WHERE THE MUSIC COMES TO LIFE

Our values are simple: quality, passion, integrity, and collaboration. We’re all about delivering top-notch entertainment, working with innovative artists who are as passionate about their craft as we are.

And we do it all with honesty, transparency, and a collaborative spirit. So let’s make some magic happen!

David

David – the visionary behind Studio 16. Originally from Argentina and now based in Europe, David’s musical journey started at the prestigious Conservatorio Superior de Música «Ástor Piazzolla» in Buenos Aires.

David’s career has taken him around the globe, performing in ensembles at luxury hotels and captivating audiences as a piano bar entertainer aboard cruise ships for over a decade.

At Studio 16, David leads our casting team, ensuring every artist we represent meets the highest standards. For him, music isn’t just a career—it’s a lifelong passion. When he’s not guiding talent or on stage himself, you’ll find him composing, arranging, or diving into his DIY projects (he can fix just about anything!). And his love for Spanish «jamón»? It’s legendary—because, really, who could resist?

Martín

Casting Supervisor

Hailing from the stunning landscapes of Argentine Patagonia, Martín is the driving force behind our auditions. His musical journey began at the age of 8 with the traverse flute, and since then, he’s mastered a diverse range of styles, from classical to rock and Latin American rhythms. With years of orchestral experience and the ability to play multiple instruments, Martín’s talent is nothing short of extraordinary.

As the specialist in charge of our entertainers and soloists, Martín ensures that every artist meets our highest standards, delivering performances that are second to none.

But Martín’s life isn’t just about music—he shares it with three beloved companions: Tara, his loyal pup; Samba, his playful kitty; and Houdini, the enigmatic feline who never ceases to amaze. He also mentions he’s a pro at chess and claims to be a top ping pong player!

Tomás

People & Talent

Tomas is our ultimate hybrid team member, seamlessly supporting both the Casting and People & Experience teams. From interviewing artists and reviewing documentation to providing hands-on support and tackling office tasks, he’s a key player in keeping things running smoothly.

Hailing all the way from Mar del Plata, Argentina, Tomas brings a unique perspective to the team with a degree in Psychology (pretty amazing, right?). But that’s not all—he’s also a skilled drummer and percussionist, proving that rhythm runs through every part of his life.

When he’s off the clock, you’ll find him gaming, enjoying the beautiful beaches of Mar del Plata, or guarding the goal on the soccer field. Oh, and one more crucial detail—he’s a die-hard River Plate fan (because that absolutely had to be mentioned..)

Franki

Casting Specialist

Franki is a key member of our casting team, dedicated to finding and supporting incredible bands and vocalists. Hailing from Argentina, he brings a deep passion for music and a wealth of experience as a professional musician. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Music, he specializes in guitar but also plays bass and piano—talk about versatility!

Beyond casting, Franki is always exploring new creative frontiers. In his free time, he experiments with AI in music production (how cool is that?), blending technology with artistry in innovative ways. When he’s not immersed in music, you’ll find him spending time with his pets or enjoying a good board game night.
