In conversation with Patrick Osei – founder of Hot Money Studios Ltd

We’re talking to Hot Money Studios Ltd founder and producer Patrick Osei. Hot Money Studios have helped launch the career of some of the UK’s biggest urban music acts over the last decade.
How long has Hot Money Studios Ltd been around for?
I launched Hot Money Studios Ltd in 2008 and the next year we moved into Atomic Studios and we’re now based in Hackney Wick, East London.
You had a lot of success as an artist with hits like 2002’s Stomp, Glitch and Deep Down. You also collaborated with The Streets and were nominated for numerous awards. How did you go from there to owning and running a studio that has become a hot bed for emerging artists?
I knew that there was a real lack of quality studio space for emerging underground artists. There was nowhere for them to learn and grow as artists in a professional environment. I wanted to be able to educate artists on the entire recording process and empower them so that they could reach their potential. That’s exactly what Hot Money Studios is – a place to create, grow and learn.
It obviously works as your client list is outstanding.
Yes, Stormzy, Stefflon Don, Krept and Konan, Ard Adz, Paigey Cakey have all spent time working at Hot Money Studios. We’ve worked with Aggro Santos, Esmee Denters, Rose Benson, Alicia Renee, Jay Sean and DJ Poet from the Black Eyed Peas.
What do you put Hot Money Studios success down to?
It’s not one thing. It’s hard work. It’s a dedication to music and a dedication to the clients I work with. I think that a lot of it comes down to your starting point – I’ve never viewed Hot Money Studios as an extension of me or something to stroke my own ego with, what we create is what’s important and I think that artists recognise and appreciate that.
Hot Money Studios is not just a studio or where I work, it’s bigger than me – it is a philosophy, a creative movement and somewhere that nurtures talent.

Offering a full range of luxury services, including precision lash extensions (classic, hybrid, or voluminous), restorative K18 hair treatments, and color correction that leaves hair vibrant and healthy. Every detail counts—from the shimmer of tinsel extensions, a blowout that lasts through the final dance, to a lash lift so delicate it feels like magic.
Marissa’s bespoke bridal services cater to every need, from the first consultation to the final “I do.” Recently named a top bridal beauty vendor for 2024, her coveted Glamouriss Bridal Package includes everything a bride needs to feel like the main character in her own love story: flawless makeup, golden spray tans, signature blowouts, silk robes, and of course, Prosecco.
Her skills are matched only by her vibrant energy, grounded authenticity, and genuine connection with each client. “I’ll always be honest about what will or won’t work for you,” she says. “My goal is to enhance, never mislead.”
Marissa’s unique perspective is shaped by her experience in front of the camera, where the high-stakes world of reality TV and red carpet events taught her the value of a trusted, reliable glam expert. “When you’re juggling shoots, events, and press days, having one go-to artist makes all the difference,” she shares. This ultimately inspired her full-time transition into beauty, where her commitment to quality and client care became the foundation of her thriving business.
With over a decade of hands-on experience and certifications from elite institutions like Paris Lash Academy, Marissa fuses each service with inspiration drawn from Europe’s emerging beauty trends. Private makeup lessons have become a client favorite, providing a safe, judgment-free space for individuals of all ages and genders to explore self-expression and build confidence. Spray tans are another highlight, with rapid-developing, customizable formulas designed for every skin tone and occasion—whether it’s for a wedding, vacation, or simply a Monday in need of a glow. When it comes to lashes, Marissa’s artistry is second to none. From classic and hybrid sets to voluminous extensions and precision lifts, every application is custom-tailored. For those new to lashes or looking for a gentle reset, she also offers removal and care services that prioritize long-term lash health.
Beyond the chair, Marissa’s creative vision shines through her co-branded Honeybloom x Marissa Lucchese Palette—a bold collection of feminine shades that reflect her signature aesthetic. Editorial collaborations with Carolina Palmgren, Foxlight Studios, and features in Style Me Pretty and Style Cruze further showcase her range as an artist.
