Thornton says Salt Lake has a high concentration of musicians for a city its size. He says much of the background movie music utilizes local talent. But for some projects, locals are not the only ones who stop by to record.
“Lots of big name acts,” said Thornton, referring to music celebrities like Dolly Parton, Placido Domingo, Christina Aguilerra and rap artist, Eminem.
“He was in town doing a concert, happened to have some extra days before he went on to the next city, so he rented out our studio in the evenings to work on an album,” Thornton explains his first encounter with the rap legend.
Nervous at what to expect, he says Eminem turned out to be a “complete gentleman.”
“One of the body guards lit up a cigarette in the control room, which we don’t allow smoking in our building. And Eminem walked over to him, grabbed the cigarette out of his mouth, tossed it on the ground stamped it out and said ‘can’t you read? There’s no smoking here.’ He turned to me said ‘sorry Mr. Thornton, that won’t happen again,’” says Thornton with a laugh.
