About Sonic Palace Recording Studio

For over 20 years Sonic Palace has recording local and national artist ranging from rock/metal (Candlebox, Soil, The Outfit)
to the recently exploding Chicago Rap Scene.

Using his years of expertise in recording rock and metal, Mercado lent his
skills to the burgeoning Chicago rap scene. Recently, Mercado recorded two of
the hottest rappers, Famous Dex, who went on to sign with Rich Forever
Records and Katie Got Bandz, best known for her smash hit “Make Me Rich”
Feat. Jeremih & Chi Hoover. Mercado was also able to record a young up and coming artist Jumex and Dying In Designer. Dying in Designer subsequently signed with Hopeless Records, and the song “Lately” was a featured single/video.

Mercado also produced all the music and recorded, mixed and mastered all
the artists for the studio’s first mixtape “Sonic Six - Vol. I” which was featured
in the highly prestigious “Mix Magazine”.

It was in 2017 that Mercado would start acquiring a string of Billboard top 40 hits that continue to this day. The first Billboard top 40 being the Oklahoma City band “Kirra”, who’s song “Downfall” peaked at #18 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Indicator chart. Soon to follow in 2018 was Pavement recording artist “The Outfit”, which peaked and #33 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.
In September 2020 Mercado celebrated his first Billboard Top 40 in the Country charts with Big Big Records artist Eric Chesser’s “Date Night” peaking at #36 on the Billboard Mainstream Country Indicator Chart.
