immerse yourself in zonkey studios
the residential recording studio in europe, surrounded by the serene viennese forest
“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.”
-Alex Apolline, Artist
meet the zonkeys
We are Simon and Michael, the two Zonkeys who met in London a few years ago with the same vision: to create an amazing place for artists and musicians where everyone can feel safe and inspired to let go of everyday stress, have the space to reconnect with their craft, and go on a retreat to get full focus and momentum on their songs.
When artists leave more excited about their own music than before, what more could we ask for?
We value the experience from the very beginning, by going through the discovery process together. We are creating the right sonic environment for your songs, making things unique through playful approaches to production, and always aiming for the highest quality we can deliver. The people and the experience are what makes zonkey studios so different from any other studio you’d go to.
I’m Enya, the wellbeing officer at Zonkey Studios. I take my job very seriously and make sure everyone gets enough cuddles and energy when they’re feeling low. I have the kindest heart and a fair dose of craziness to spread good vibes and put smiles on people’s faces.

“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!.”
