POWER STATION “THE FACILITY”: A brief history World famous Power Station Studios is without question the undisputed platinum standard for recording studio design and operations today. The studio is the vision of legendary recording engineer and producer Tony Bongiovi. Since the age of seventeen, when he was an engineer at Detroit’s Motown Records, Tony has worked in the world’s finest studio facilities. While producing hit records at Media Sound in New York City and after working with the best design and technology that the industry had to offer, Tony saw the need for a new and radically different approach to hit-making. As a result, Tony conceived, designed and built the world-renowned Power Station Studio Complex in1977 in midtown Manhattan. The facility was initially intended to be a private production facility from which Tony could create. At the time it was considered a high-risk venture. In fact, Power Station’s construction was funded by royalty proceeds from Tony’s many hit records. |
