Alex St. Cin
Co-Owner/Chief Audio Engineer
Along with deep family roots in Alton, Alex has a deep appreciation for musicians and their craft. Records he heard as a guitar-playing kid sparked an interest in production, eventually leading to a college degree and a career defined by that special synergy between artist and audio engineer that makes good recordings great.
Davo Stein
Audio Engineer
A St. Louis area native, Davo brings his love of music and a degree in audio production to Lighthouse. “I got into recording, because I always wanted an enjoyable job that didn’t feel like one”, he says. Davo brings that passion-not-work approach to every recording project.
Jay “Hart” Stanley
Owner
Looking to start his own business and influenced by friends with home studios, Hart decided to open Lighthouse Sounds in 2016 and provide a service unique to the Alton area. Like his audio engineering colleagues, Hart is a fan of all musical styles and especially enjoys interacting with people before, during and after their sessions here.
Aaron Fisher
Audio Engineer
A Webster University grad, Aaron began playing drums at a young age and formed his first band at 13. With this group he had his first experience in a recording studio and his path was set. Bringing an impressive résumé to the table, Aaron was recruited to the team even before completing school!
Caleb Lienard
Co-Owner/Studio Manager
Driven by curiousity about how recorded music comes together, Caleb formally studied audio production, combining that knowledge with his experience as a musician and multi-instrumentalist. Today, this Alton area native especially enjoys the variety of people he gets to work with at Lighthouse.
Justin Level
Assistant Engineer/Retail Supervisor
Born and raised in Alton, Justin got into audio production from the other side of the glass. After years of band performances and recordings, he jumped at the chance to do formal, hands-on training at Lighthouse. Now, Justin offers this unique mastery of art and technology to you.
