I regret to write this review. I find it unfortunate that I have to, but for the safety of other people looking into this company, please read this first. I attended an Agency Crawl with Nazareth University, put together by the AAFGR. Ferdinand Jay was the one giving us the tour. I unfortunately had a very poor experience. Within the first 5 minutes of the agency crawl, he had already made a few racist comments about where I come from (South Korea), I quote, "I would not recommend going to Seoul. I hated the food, and they ate dogs for lunch.” Not even a minute after that, moving onto the next room, we stopped in the hallway and immediately asked me where I was from. While that’s typically a neutral question and not really alarming, it was inappropriate for him to ask in this case, especially given the circumstances. Even after I said I was from South Korea, he kept telling me how much he hated the food. He then later asked when I plan to go back to South Korea. This question came out of nowhere and was irrelevant to the agency crawl. Another instance happened while we were sitting in the studio. There was a normal conversation, him discussing what was happening, and then he locked eyes with me, and blurted out, “What do you think, Miss South Korea?” A separate comment he made was less racially driven, but rather more creepy and disgusting. This was still early on in the tour, he said something along the lines of him loving Naz girls, “I dated a lot of Naz girls, I married a Naz girl.” Quite inappropriate and unprofessional. I loved a lot of the work that was shown during this agency crawl; however, there was no professionalism right from the start, and this experience has left a permanent imprint on me. I feel humiliated, disgusted, and disturbed by what happened, and I felt the need to call off work later that day. I don’t blame the staff or anyone for what happened, other than the man himself. Other than that, the work you guys have done is amazing. I’m so
Amazing recording studio and technicians! I recorded my first album here!
