A House of Story, Sound & Savor for Icons of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
There are stories… and then there are epics—etched into time, wrapped in linen, whispered through generations. Upland Studios exists for the latter. We are not your average publisher. We are the atelier of storytelling—an intimate, high-gloss sanctuary for icons, visionaries, and legends in the making.
Welcome to Upland Studios:
A bespoke book and media house where cultural architects—soul singers, founders, filmmakers, and timeless tastemakers—immortalize their journeys in heirloom form.
We craft keepsakes that outlive trends. Narratives that belong in vaults. Editions that feel like velvet and read like champagne. You’re not here to leave content. You’re here to leave a legacy.
So, if your story deserves more than just a chapter—if it belongs in the Library of Culture—we welcome you. Because history favors the bold, and your name was always meant for gold foil.
The Atelier
Our Publishing Atelier →
A couture literary studio for the music and film elite by appointment only.
This is where stories dress up in hardcovers and make their red carpet debut. We don’t just publish books. We immortalize moments. For music’s magnetic masterminds — and the future legends currently sipping oat milk lattes in creative studios — we craft collectible book experiences worthy of their own standing ovation that is a four-part love letter to legacy.
This is preservation in its most luxurious form. For the icons who live for the spotlight: musicians whose lyrics deserve linen pages, filmmakers whose scripts deserve a slipcase, moguls whose memoirs should feel like forbidden diaries in a lover’s drawer. Every great story is bound in beauty.

The Tea
Upland Tea House is where story meets stillness — a luxury ritual brand designed for creators, curators, and cultural tastemakers. Rooted in the heritage of Western Cape rooibos and steeped in intentional living, we offer a line of premium loose-leaf blends, seasonal Velvet Flights, and lifestyle pairings that transform every cup into a moment of calm, clarity, and connection.
This is more than tea. It’s a sensory experience, a daily ceremony, a return to self. Whether sipped at sunrise while journaling or poured during a curated salon, Upland Tea House fosters mindful rituals in the spaces where creativity lives. Our blends are curated not just for flavor, but for feeling — each one inspired by chapters of life, memory, and art.

The Textiles
Stories, style, and sanctuary
Upland Home is the sanctuary where the art of living meets the romance of storytelling. Inspired by timeless elegance and cosmopolitan charm, each piece is crafted to elevate daily rituals into moments of refined indulgence. From tufted velvet cushions that beckon you to linger, to softly flickering candles that scent the air with quiet luxury, Upland Home is an invitation to dwell beautifully, think deeply, and gather graciously. It is the finishing touch for those who know that a well-told story deserves a beautiful setting — and that life, at its finest, is always lived at home.

The Crates
Introducing Upland Listening Crates — where music isn’t streamed. It’s archived. Curated. Immortalized.
Each crate is a limited-edition artifact. Every drop becomes part of the hidden archive — a collaboration that pushes deeper into the world of sound, story, and collector culture. We don’t do mass production. We don’t do algorithms. We create heirlooms for the culture connoisseurs. And something secret... always.
This isn’t merch. This isn’t fandom. This is a cultural flex. The crates are rare. The salons are private. The stories never repeat. When it sells out — it becomes legend. When it’s yours — it’s forever.

The Soundtrack
We believe that storytelling isn’t just ink on paper or frames on film — it’s frequency. Vibration. Emotion. A carefully orchestrated rhythm that turns ordinary moments into cinematic ones. So we curated something intentional. A playlist designed as the soundtrack for the well-lived life. It’s the pulse behind creativity. The hum of heritage. The cadence of ambition.
Whether you’re writing the next chapter of your story, creating art, savoring solitude, or celebrating what’s to come — the Upland Studios Playlist was designed to be the score for it. This isn’t background noise. It’s foreground energy. A living, breathing soundscape for collectors, creatives, and the culturally curious.
