Del Real Music Center is a family owned music business specializing in, but not limited to, music and art lessons and studio recording. It all began in 1996 in downtown Mount Prospect. Diego and his son Joey decided to share their musical talent and knowledge with the community by offering a vicinity for local bands to rehearse and record their music. This was the birth of Palmera Recording Studio. Business was booming, musicians wanted to be heard and managed so Joey created Out There Entertainment Group, an independent music label. While this was all coming together, Joey and Diego offered private music lessons at the homes of their students.
