CARLSBORG — Jeremy Cays hears a bright future for the Dungeness Valley.

He hopes to lure music makers out of their homes, away from their computers and into Cays Productions, the professional recording studio he’s dreamed of for more than a dozen years.

Cays, the 27-year-old son of a pioneering Sequim family, is known as a pianist, player of African djembe and music teacher.

And in recent years he has also collaborated with other local creative types on new age, hip-hop, rock and Christian recordings.

But until now, his style has been a bit cramped.

Cays used a tiny space at Paul M. Creech Pianos & Music Academy in Carlsborg as a recording studio, in addition to teaching piano lessons there.

Then he heard of an 850-square-foot space at 62 Village Lane, off Carlsborg Road, and brought some friends including musicians, and professional producers, over to look at it.

“They told me, ‘This has a lot of opportunity to it,'” Cays said.

Compared with the Creech space, “this is like a mansion.”
