CONCEPT

A young woman owns and operates a hip-hop recording studio where the best... and the worst of Baltimore come to record their music.

OVERVIEW

If someone told you about Amotion, a pretty white female living in Baltimore, Maryland, you might be surprised to hear that she's at the center of the city's hip-hop scene.  But if you meet her and see what she's accomplished, it all makes sense.  She founded her company, Deep Flow Studios, in 1999 and, though she's a minority in her industry in every way, she's managed to prove herself, earn respect, and, through it all, build an impressive brand.  A rapper in her own right, she records a big part of the music coming out of Baltimore and now she's on her way to going national.

Business is booming at Deep Flow Studios.  Good artists... terrible artists... if they have the money, they can book studio time so not everyone who comes in has talent, but everyone has a story. 

Each episode follows Amotion's day-to-day life and features sessions with two artists, one whose story fits into the major theme of the show and a secondary artist to show more of the normal workings of the studio.

As you get to know each artist and why they're inspired to do what they do, you also get to know Amotion and the rest of her crew. 

THE ENGINEERS

J-LEE  is one of the best in the business so Amotion overlooks his constant lateness and his too-laid back attitude.

TYRONNE  is older and wiser, but since he has a family, he's not available to work the crazy hours the studio sometimes demands. 

THE BEATMAKER

C-4 is an impressive beatmaker but he's young, and his temper can get the best of him. 

THE PERSONAL ASSISTANT

KORY, who also happens to be Amotion's live-in boyfriend.  They have a great relationship, but it's not always easy for Kory to have a girlfriend who's also his boss.

THE KIDS

In addition to working at least six days a week, Amotion runs an after school program teaching middle school kids how to rap and record.  She's devoted to the community and not only wants to help give kids a place to be so they don't have to be out on the street, but to teach them a trade.  One of her students, a thirteen year old boy, is now getting paid to make beats for Deep Flow customers and two of the other kids have a song featured in a film that went to TriBeCa Film Festival this year.

There's a lot going on and, with these kinds of characters, a surprise around every corner.  But that's Amotion's life and her studio.  And with all the talent there... you never know who's gonna make it big next.
