Camarata found a former automotive repair garage in the heart of Hollywood, on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Cherokee. Legend has it that Disney replied "I'd rather be a client!” when Camarata proposed building a recording studio for Disney's company, encouraging entrepreneurship on Camarata's side.
