I feel like the statement that was posted on the right explains it all! However, I'll explain further!      

    There comes a time in life when people out grow one another or have differences of opinions that can't be resolved. The best thing to do is part ways with no hard feelings attached. That's what I {14K} decided to do. The path and direction that other's wanted to go... was not my vision of the company. I have no hard feelings toward anyone that was once apart of I-M-R. 

       I'll be the first to admit that I was a little nervous about stepping out on faith. Leaving everything that I had lived for in the last 7 years and also everyone. Now a year later! Thank God I made the choice. I feel freedom and peace. Sometimes you can't see what you're involved in until you step out of it, then look back! I feel like destruction... is some form, would have came my way if I had not made the decision that was made!

    Now, everything is falling into place. The new studio is the epitome of my expectations. I have a team of people that take nothing from me, but add to me, which inspires me to achieve the unbelievable. When we.... as a team, decide to make a move.......it's done! Thanks to everyone! Regina, Tosha, Terrence, Carl, Eric, Chris, and Gloria! You're the best team ever!

   Izmi-Mikon Records moved to a new location in 2004. We were formally based out of Salisbury, NC, but moved to a new city and a bigger facility. Although we spent lots of time building the studio in Salisbury,  this move was an even bigger upgrade. We regret  leaving old friends, but we believe there can be no progress...without change....sometimes!    

   Our new studio and label is currently under new management with many new members on staff. Although the Salisbury studio was nice and spacious, the new location is more suitable for our needs to be efficient and productive in a recording environment.
