About LDB
25 Years of Helping Philadelphia Creatives Build Their Vision Through Recording, Music Production, and Audio Education
In 1996, a discovery changed the life of Samori Coles forever: the realization that he could create and record music anywhere, even in a bedroom with the most basic tools. What started with cassette decks and a Casio keyboard sparked a journey that led him to leave his career as a financial analyst and board a Greyhound bus to Philadelphia, where Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings (LDB) was born.
Named after a childhood photo of Samori on his first drum set, Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings has evolved from humble beginnings into a full-service recording studio and training facility at the heart of Philadelphia’s creative community. Over the past 25 years, Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings has guided thousands of artists, producers, and music entrepreneurs toward achieving their creative visions.
The mission of Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings is simple: to empower creators to turn their passion into professional success. Whether an artist seeking world-class recording services or a music creative looking to master audio engineering, music production, or the business side of the industry, Samori and his team are here to help unlock your full potential.
The story of the creative who lets their dreams pass by is all too common. That doesn’t have to be your story. When you’re ready to start or continue your journey, Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings is here to guide you every step of the way.
