Power Station at Berklee NYC is a world-class and historic multi-room commercial recording facility founded by Tony Bongiovi in 1977, run as Avatar Studios from 1996-2017, and renovated, professionally staffed, and relaunched in 2021 by Berklee College of Music.
Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Chic, Diana Ross, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Herbie Hancock, John Mayer, Bobby McFerrin, and Esperanza Spalding have all made pivotal recordings here, and the facility remains a major tent-pole of the New York City music industry.
The building complex — which comprises 5 studios, state-of-the-art Black Box theater, video production facilities, and a variety of small production rooms and flexible AV-enabled educational spaces — is also home to Berklee NYC’s Creative Media & Technology masters program and serves as a learning and professional industry hub for NYC’s creative community.
