Larrabee West The original Larrabee Studio location, named after its location on Larrabee Street in West Hollywood, California was co-founded by singer-songwriter Carole King and her husband, lyricist Gerry Goffin in the 1960s. In 1969, Jackie Mills, a jazz drummer, record producer, and co-founder of the short-lived Ava Records, purchased the studio together with his wife Dolores Kaninger. The couple operated the studio until 1985, when they sold it to their son Kevin Mills. This original Larrabee Studio location became referred to as Larrabee West after the establishment of Larrabee North in 1991, and remained in operation until 2003. Schnee Studio In 2015 Schnee Studio, which was located adjacent to Larrabee Studios, was sold and merged with Larrabee to become Larrabee Studio 6. In the late 2010s, this Larrabee studio was under extended lockout by Harvey Mason Jr. ==Notable personnel==
