Nxt Up Studios is an LLC founded by Takumi. Originally created as a sound engineer and music production company back in 2020, Takumi utilized Nxt Up Studios to help pay bills and his college education. Nxt Up Studios provided a recording space for artists and musicians alike, and Takumi was the on-hand producer and engineer working with many different local artists with an array of genres. Nxt Up Studios still provides mixing and mastering services to this day. Takumi eventually expanded the business to include mobile DJ services in both the Portland and Las Vegas areas.
Designed by Takumi, the idea behind the logo is to showcase a turntable record on a soccer badge showcasing Takumi's love for both. The noise meter above the crest is meant to represent a crown to leave the interpretation up to the viewer of its symbolism.
