Elizabeth Moritz from Seven Hills Studio is seeking a location in the East End to house a non-profit recording studio and record label.
Her husband Jay Moritz, one of the all-time good guys, passed in February after a battle with cancer. Among other things, Jay was a noted local bass player in bands such as Brainworms, Little Master, and Snacktruck.
“[The studio] seems like a really good tie-in for all things Jay, all his friends who love music, and love him,” explains Elizabeth. Proceeds from Moritz Music will go towards cancer research.
Elizabeth has been looking for a location to house the studio, but has not found the space yet.
“I know that there are a lot of hidden gems up here, that haven’t hit the market yet – maybe something people are holding onto for the right type of development,” she says.
If you know of a good available building in the area, contact Elizabeth at Seven Hills Studio.
Keep an eye on Gentleman Jay for updates on the project.

Land down river from Richmond could work as well.
This is such a great idea. I’ve often wondered why the area by fulton gas works, W-burg, and that bus parking lot near the train hasn’t been developed into an artist colony of sorts – a place where you could make a lot of noise. Think SoHo in the 70s. DUMBO in the 90s. Would love to help.

The Neighborhood Resource Center of Greater Fulton has a recording studio- perhaps this is an opportunity for collaboration?

The Williamsburg Rd/Government Rd corridor has spaces that could be converted to something. A lot cheaper than Church Hill, I would think…
