Harbor Studios in Malibu, where stars including Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat have recorded blockbuster albums, has burned down in the Palisades wildfire, founder Zach Brandon revealed in a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday (Jan. 8).
“I am profoundly sad to announce that Harbor Studios has been lost to the Palisades Fire,” Brandon wrote alongside a photo showing the studio’s charred remains. “Harbor has been a staple in the music community since the 1990s — first, it was the recording studio for Joe Zawinul and his world famous Jazz Fusion group, ‘The Weather Report.’ Finally, in 2021, it became Harbor Studios. Named after one of the most important memories from my childhood, Harbor Studios quickly grew from a big, dreamy concept to a beloved staple in the recording industry.”
Plenty of star power walked through the Harbor Studios doors including Minaj, who recorded Pink Friday 2 in its entirety at the studio, while Doja Cat worked on her Scarlet album there.
Brandon continued: “I cried this morning, but not because Harbor burned down. I cried because it settled in with me that Harbor was taken from so many artists who cared so deeply about Harbor. It was a place of musical freedom… a sanctuary in the most literal sense of the word. I loved it.”
Brandon promised this isn’t the last of Harbor, stating that he and the studio builder have already begun taking steps toward reviving it in another iteration.
“This is not the end of Harbor. We are restarting from scratch (again)… nothing we haven’t done before,” Brandon wrote. “Not only that, but I have gained so much knowledge and experience from Harbor 1 that I will be implementing into the rebuild. I’ve taken the initial steps forward — the original studio builder and I have already begun planning what the new Harbor Studios is going to look like. Thankfully, the magic that has been bestowed upon us by our clients is something that can never leave. It’s in the soil, it’s in the air, and it’s in our souls. We will come back stronger from this.”

The west-side Palisades Fire has become the most destructive in LA history, according to the Associated Press. The blaze, fanned by strong, gusting winds has led to the evacuation of more than 30,000 people as it has grown to 15,800 acres with zero containment, per CBS News. Meanwhile, the east-side Eaton Fire has caused five deaths so far and doubled in size over the past day, currently burning 10,600 acres near Pasadena. As a result, more than 52,000 residents have evacuated their homes.
In light of the tragedy, Ariana Grande took to her Instagram Stories to write, “My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating LA fires, sharing some organizations to support who are responding to those affected in real time.” She then linked to three organizations: the LAFD Foundation, California Community Foundation and Mutual AID LA Network. She also shared this graphic, with a list of evacuation and animal shelters in the area. The Weeknd shared the same post on his Stories.
Meanwhile, Billie Eilish also linked to the Los Angeles Fire Department, writing on her Stories of her hometown, “What’s going on in LA right now is sooo scary and devastating.”
Shawn Mendes shared the same resources, adding, “I’m sorry to those who have lost their homes already, I can’t imagine. As long as you are safe out there.”
Vanessa Hudgens urged fans to “keep an eye out for evacuation zones,” adding, “This is so scary. My heart breaks for everyone affected. Thank you to all the firefighters out there risking their lives.”
Paris Hilton wrote that she’s “praying for LA/California,” adding a graphic that promotes organizations including American Red Cross, Baby2Baby, Calfund Wildfire Recovery Fund, California Fire Foundation Wildfire and Disaster Relief Fund, LA Food Bank and Watch Duty.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA have teamed up for a plethora of hit records over the years. From “All the Stars” to “Luther,” and most recently “30 for 30,” fans have long been clamoring for a joint project from the former Top Dawg Entertainment teammates.
With Dot and Solana set to hit the road for the Grand National Tour in April, perhaps the idea of a collab project coming to fruition is closer than ever.
SZA stopped by Sherri on Wednesday (Jan. 8) in promotion of her upcoming One of Them Days movie coming to theaters next week, and she also discussed possibly teaming up with Lamar for a joint project at some point down the line.
Trending on Billboard
“I would love that,” SZA said point-blank when asked about a collab album. “I think that would be amazing. He’s such a genius. And a part of his genius is like him being so elusive and so mysterious and I love it.”
SZA also admitted she had no idea what version of her vocals were appearing on GNX that ended up becoming “Luther” and album closer “Gloria.”
“I don’t know what’s going on as much as you don’t know what’s going on,” she continued. “When ‘Luther’ came out, I said, ‘OK, that’s the vocals we’re using, period.’ Same with ‘Gloria.’ I said, ‘OK.’”
The Grammy-winning singer appreciates the unknown of working with Lamar, because it pushes her creativity outside her comfort zone at times.
“That’s also part of the fumbling and finding,” she said. “He’s a huge part of my fumbling and finding era because I’m trusting his expertise and being thrust into these moments and spotlight and saying yes. He’s so good at saying yes, but staying grounded. So I’m just like, ‘Teach me, sensei, what you know.’”
SZA and Kendrick embark on their stadium tour across North America starting April 19 in Minneapolis. The Grand National Tour will hit Houston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Toronto before wrapping up in Washington, D.C., on June 18.
