Phil Archer has been passionate about recording, audio and video production since he can remember. After receiving his degree from the prestigious Full Sail University in the United States, which specializes in the entertainment and media industry, Phil moved back to his hometown of Barbados. He quickly realized there was a need for quality audio production and recording studios so he set out to open up his own with his vision of what he could offer clients: high quality production, talent, creative script writing, timely project completion and responsive communication. Plus, Phil has been a recording artist himself so he knew exactly what was needed. Out of this vision, Crucial Productions was born in 2001 and in 2007, with the acquisition of Longbow Communications, Crucial Productions expanded its house of capabilities to include video, animation and multimedia.
