History

The building was originally a Consolidated Edison power plant. In 1977, it was rebuilt as a recording studio by producer Tony Bongiovi and his partner Bob Walters.

The complex was renamed Avatar Studios (under the Avatar Entertainment Corporation) in May 1996. In 2017, the studios were renamed back to Power Station, by special arrangement with BerkleeNYC.[1]

Musicians and bands

Major acts who have recorded there include the band Power Station which was named after the studio itself, and many others. Sting's 2016 album 57th & 9th is named for the intersection he crossed every day to get to the studio.
