The Founders -Sukha Artist development studios is a fairly new performing arts studio located in the heart of Decatur, GA  run by Founders Mike Froedge ( Engineer/Former Touring Drummer) and Tricia Froedge  ( Choreographer and Stunt Double)

About Sukha - Sukha functions in two main parts, one part focusing on Artist development for both youth and adults thru outlets such as Dance instruction , Instrumental Lessons, and an Amazing Youth band development program. While the other part of Sukha's purpose is to Services Professional musicians and Artists by providing them with a welcoming and supportive environment to rehearse, create and even hold showcases and intimate performances!

The Reason - Since opening Sukha Mike and Tricia have both put their heart and souls as well as every penny they had into Keeping the studio a float, all while allowing the integrity and vision to remain intact. But as with any new business it takes time to build up a consistent clientele, and it take a consistent clientele to keep the lights on and the music going! After Only a short period of time having the keys to the building Mike and Tricia did a soft opening of the Studio but were made aware shortly after that there were some back utility bills and other issues including fire code laws that would soon possibly force them to close up shop, not to mention dealing with personal life issues including Losing there home, Mike losing his Father and Tricia more recently suffering with heart issues. It isn’t our intention to share this information in exchange sympathy but to share a story of a courageous family who have committed there lives and EVERY penny and bit of energy they have to creating a place for Atlanta Creatives and Musician Community. It is our hope and prayer that you too can see and understand the vision for Sukha and our desire to preserve and grow this space for the Artists and Creatives! If you feel led, any contribution toward our Goal is greatly Appreciate!
