how it works

Before your residential week, we work with you remotely through personal video calls and run discovery sessions where we’ll be listening through demos, your references, talk your goals and expectation for the artist retreat as well as the aim for the release. What do you want to achieve?
Together, we then select the 3 songs we’ll focus on, define the creative direction in remote pre-production sessions and shape a clear plan for the studio week. This means we all arrive prepared, aligned, and ready to make the most of your artist retreat at Zonkey Studios.
During your stay at Zonkey Studios, we record, produce, and edit your 3 selected songs.
This is the focused creative phase where ideas become fully developed productions. With the collaboration of our finest in house session musicians we refine arrangements, capture performances, build the production, and make the songs feel right and ready for the mixing phase.
The week after your residential stay, we finish the songs remotely.
Through personal video calls and high quality Audiomovers streaming, we make sure you’re not missing out on any studio experience. We review the mixes together in real time, discuss changes, make revisions, let it feel good and master the final tracks.
3 fully produced, edited, mixed, and mastered songs, shaped through a focused process that gives your music direction, momentum, and care from start to finish.

what artists are saying

‘Zonkey Studios is like a second home to me. A refuge from city life, somewhere I can go to completely disconnect and reconnect to my creativity, nature and why exactly I love music. The community they’ve built is truly special, and musicians I’ve met there have become some of my dearest friends and collaborators. The studios are beautiful, equipped with everything you might need, and that combined with Michael and Simon’s expertise, attention to detail and intuitive approach to each song means you’re truly in the best possible hands. I am so grateful to have met them both and created so much music at Zonkey, it’s truly changed the trajectory of my career and artistry.’

—Alex Apolline
'Working with the team at Zonkey Studios whilst touring Europe in 2025 was a big surprise that turned into a long working relationship. After a random message from Simon with the offer to visit Zonkey around my show supporting Ziggy Alberts in Vienna. I was curious and had also written a song on the tour that I thought would be special to record at the studio so I took up the offer. We ended up recording the song and have now continued remotely working on my entire new record and I'm so grateful for all the help with extra production and mixing and also the friendship we now have!'

—Hein Cooper
‘Zonkey Studios is my favourite studios in the world. It’s impossible to not be inspired there. It’s a creative sanctuary ran by the loveliest people. Once you go, you’ll never want to leave. Great coffee too!’

‘The Zonkey team expanded on my creative vision with grace, care and professionalism while fostering a joyful and collaborative atmosphere throughout the entire process. They maintained a high level of attention to detail without stifling the creative flow. The studio was comfortable to stay in and felt free from the distractions of the outside world. I’d recommend this studio to anyone looking to grow as an artist or band and connect with a team of creators who truly care - during the project and beyond.’
