The recent wildfires in Los Angeles County have caused immense loss and devastation. Although Oberheim’s global headquarters are based in San Francisco, the tragedy has still struck close to home. Our Focusrite Group colleagues in El Segundo, good friends with whom we collaborate daily, are now coping with the aftermath of one of the worst natural disasters in US history. We’re all too aware that Los Angeles is not just a workplace—it’s a home where many of us have grown up, created, and drawn inspiration. We are heartbroken for our city and everyone affected.
To the artists, musicians, and creators who have lost so much: we see you, and we’re here to help. Music and audio are more than careers or hobbies; they are lifelines for mental health, emotional expression, and connection. We understand the critical role they play in our lives, and we are committed to helping you rebuild so you can continue doing what you love.
If you’ve lost Oberheim gear as a result of the fires, we want to hear from you. Please share your story with us by filling out the form on this page. Tell us about your journey, the equipment you’ve lost, and how we can support you. The deadline to submit is March 7th – we will be reviewing responses to assess how we can help and will respond as quickly as possible.
While we know natural disasters affect communities around the world year-round, this particular tragedy has deeply impacted the creative community we cherish. The disproportionate number of audio and music professionals affected by these fires has compelled us to act. We believe it’s our responsibility to help our fellow creators get back on their feet.
To everyone in Los Angeles and beyond, know that our hearts are with you as we navigate the aftermath of this disaster together. Let’s rebuild, create, and continue to find strength in music.
