Our Story
Hello everyone! I'm Slim Fey, the founder and main operator of "Blonde Boy Custom Cassette Shop." This shop was born during my senior year of college, about 20 years ago. Before that, I was passionate about music, and it was during my college years that my love and obsession for music led me to become a music producer. I have released many original Beats and remixes on the NetEase Cloud Music platform (if interested, you can search for my name Slim Fey on NetEase Cloud Music).
The idea of starting a shop specialized in custom cassettes was conceived during my college years. At that time, there was a professional recording studio near the school, and for a long period, besides attending classes, I was cleaning and maintaining the studio's equipment. I worked without a salary, eager to learn music production from the studio owner. We also formed a band at school and performed gigs at bars—these were significant experiences in my life. Later, I rented a small bedroom near the school, where I spent most of my time producing music, except for eating and sleeping. Music was, and still is, my pillar of support. It not only allows me to express myself but also profoundly impacts and changes my life. During that time, I produced a BeatTape titled "20=An Evil Number." After completing it, I was inspired to create physical merchandise. After considering CDs and cassettes, I chose cassettes and contacted a professional cassette production company online to make 100 copies. It was then that I was deeply attracted to the retro charm of cassette tapes.
After my own learning and exploration, I opened an online store on Taobao called "Blonde Boy." Our shop not only offers custom cassette tapes but also allows for the customization of cassette players. Additionally, we sell pre-made album cassettes, which are intended for collectors and enthusiasts to exchange and enjoy. We are constantly working on developing more new products. Our store has produced physical merchandise not only for numerous musicians (including bands) and record companies but also for product companies. We have created unique, custom cassettes for thousands of customers. Custom cassettes are not just a way to record a story or a memory; they are crafted for every music lover out there!
