We were lucky to catch up with Hector Morales recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hector , appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
We strongly believe Sound of Wonder Studios was birthed from the heart of God. My wife and I have a music ministry called Wonder Worship which is where the idea of Sound of Wonder Studios derived from. Music has always been a huge part of our lives since we were both very little. It was actually what brought us together. We met through a church’s worship team. It was always evident we wanted to make music together. Our hearts have never had a longing for fame (not that there’s anything wrong with this), rather to make music for God as a full time ministry and source of income. The mission of Sound of Wonder Studios or best known as SOW, is to sow the gospel through seeds of music. Our desire is to help other fellow musicians, singers, and songwriters bring their ideas and dreams to life in a safe, Christ-centered space.
Hector , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
As previously shared, since very little I was always inclined to music. My very first instrument was a drum set. I’ve always considered myself to be a drummer above all. While growing up in church I began developing an interest for other instruments such as piano and guitar. As an adult I then became a music director for a church and discovered a new passion for arranging, directing and producing music. During middle school I attended Osceola School for the Arts however, I like to a credit YTU (YouTube University lol) for contributing to a huge chunk of my knowledge. At Sound of Wonder Studios we provide music arrangement and production, songwriting assistance, recording, and mixing. We love to partner up with our clients and help bring their ideas and dreams to life. Our goal is to accomplish this without compromising the essence of who the client/artist is. We are here to serve our music community to the best of our abilities. We look forward to making connections and get to work while having fun doing what we love: music.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
We all know that technology is great when it works but when it stops working, we all freak out. I can’t share with you the amount of times I have tried to accomplish something in the studio and for some odd reason something was not working. Every single time it would happen it would bring a huge wave of doubt and discouragement. We know these hiccups are meant to happen but they would happen to us unexplainable often. So many times I wanted to quit. I didn’t want to deal with the stress and anxiety it would cause me but my wife, Veronica, was always there to remind me of my purpose. I always knew deep down this is what I was called to do. Even though the hiccups will always be unpredictable, I have learned to push pass how they make me feel at the moment by focusing on our goal. Being obedient to God’s calling will always be the most rewarding decision we will ever make in our lives despite the hardships we encounter.
How’d you meet your business partner?
My business partner is my wife, Veronica. She’s actually the one helping me answer these questions lol. I briefly mentioned before that we met at church. We were 15 and 16 years old when we met. She has been my best friend ever since and I couldn’t think of anyone else better to run this business with. God definitely knew what He was doing when He brought us together. We both share a passion for music and worship. We both grew up in families that were musically inclined and knew that this is what we wanted for ourselves and our children.
