Shantih Haast
Director​
Owner and director of Studio 770 – Music production studio in Brea, California
While her father was handling cobras in front of crowds, Shantih used her early years at the Miami Serpentarium to learn how to play various instruments.
She then went to the University of Miami in Florida to study music theory where she began creating her own music. Moving to California in 1978, she attended UCLA, studying song writing and music production. Her professional audio career started when she moved to Topanga, California and worked for five years as an assistant engineer in a high-end recording studio.
Shantih then went back to school for 6 years studying film scoring and orchestral writing at Cal State Northridge. Shantih soon decided to design and build her own studio. Studio 770 was opened in September 2000, and is now producing music 24/7.
