a creative community in the right environment.

step away from distractions
and finish what matters

live, work, and create in one place

at zonkey studios we care about giving music the time and space
it deserves

we call it the artist retreat

who is this for?

you have a vision, you care deeply about your sound, and you’re looking for more than another session.

you want a place and a team that understand what you’re building and give your music the focused time, structure, and care it needs to be finished properly.

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.
