our story
IT’S A CLASSIC “BOY-MEETS-BOY-THEN-BOTH-MEET-GIRL” STORY (BUT PLATONIC)... ANDREW EVERDING AND JONATHAN FULLER SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE EARLY 2000S ON TOUR, AND WHEN THEIR BANDS THURSDAY AND ENGINE DOWN DID A FULL RUN OF THE U.S. TOGETHER, THERE WAS AN INSTANT CHEMISTRY AND MUSICAL KINSHIP, AND THE SEED FOR FUTURE COLLABORATION (AND MISCHIEF) WAS PLANTED.
AFTER BOTH STEPPED AWAY FROM TOURING, (IN MORE THAN 20 COUNTRIES, ACROSS FOUR CONTINENTS, SELLING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF RECORDS ALONG THE WAY) ANDREW DELVED INTO THE REALM OF RECORDING AND ENGINEERING, WORKING WITH LUMINARIES DAVE FRIDMANN AT TARBOX ROAD STUDIOS AND NEIL FINN AT ROUNDHEAD STUDIOS, WHILE JONATHAN VENTURED INTO SCORING FOR VISUAL MEDIA WITH BLACK IRIS MUSIC.
DESPITE THESE DIVERGING PATHS, THE FRIENDS CONTINUED TO DREAM OF WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER, AND IN 2014, THE STARS ALIGNED, AND THEY FOUNDED TINY LION TOGETHER IN RICHMOND, VA, (THE MOST UNDERRATED, SMALLISHLY BIG, MID-SIZED CITY ON THE EAST COAST.) THE COMPANY’S REPUTATION FOR DELIVERING WORLD-CLASS WORK WITH AN UNPRETENTIOUS ATTITUDE QUICKLY SPREAD, GROWING A LOYAL FANBASE THAT CONTINUES TO FLOURISH.
THE DYNAMIC DUO ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT EXPANDING, WITH A DREAM CANDIDATE IN MIND, AND AFTER NEARLY A DECADE AND COUNTLESS RAD PROJECTS WITH SOME OF THE WORLD’S BEST KNOWN BRANDS, AGENCIES, AND DIRECTORS, THEY BROUGHT ON A THIRD PARTNER. LONG-TIME FRIEND AMANDA PATTERSON JOINED, BRINGING LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE FROM INDUSTRY POWERHOUSES MARMOSET AND SQUEAK E. CLEAN, BOUNDLESS POSITIVITY, AND SHEER BADASSERY TO THE TEAM.
TINY LION IS A TESTAMENT TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE RIGHT (NICE) PEOPLE COME TOGETHER WITH A SHARED VISION AND INTENTION. GET IN TOUCH TO SEE HOW OUR TINY STUDIO CAN HELP YOU MAKE A BIG NOISE.
