Power Station, NY Tony Bongiovi also known as Tony Bon Jovi The recording studio was designed and built in 1977 as Power Station by Tony Bongiovi, a respected producer and an acoustical genius . At the age of seventeen, while conducting experiments with equipment in his Raritan, New Jersey home, Tony Bongiovi discovered the secret to duplicating the well-guarded audio formula for the Motown Sound. After contacting Motown, his abilities so impressed Motown President Barry Gordy that Tony was flown between New Jersey and Detroit on a regular basis to engineer records for Motown greats such as Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Temptations, and other leading artists. Some of the artists Tony produced while at Media Sound included Jimi Hendrix, Gloria Gaynor, The Isley Brothers, The Ramones, and Talking Heads.
In 1977, Tony Bongiovi, with business partners, designed and founded Power Station studios. Located in an old Con Edison power generation station. The facility was originally intended as a private production center from which Tony could create. However, instantaneously the studio became a huge commercial success due to Tony’s now legendary acoustical design, providing rooms designed specifically for multi-track recording boasting a “live” sound.
This groundbreaking design helped win for Power Station Mix Magazine’s prestigious TEC Award (Technical Excellence and Creativity) as Studio of the Year for an unprecedented 6 years, the maximum number permitted. In 1991, Power Station became the first recipient for a special lifetime achievement award from Mix, the Les Paul Award in which the studio was praised for its consistent contributions to audio excellence and creativity.
As a producer, Tony has built a solid gold reputation due to his contribution to over 40 gold and platinum records for artist such as Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Aldo Nova, the Scorpions, Ozzy Ozborne, and the largest selling disco record of all time, “Star Wars” by Meco.
In addition to his well-known accomplishments and contributions to the development of acoustical design, via Power Station, . His expertise as a sound engineer and studio designer, coupled with his interest in aviation, led him to develop a technique, which significantly lowered the noise level of his own airplane Results of Tony’s study of the Voyager aircraft was used by the Bose Corporation to develop a headset used to protect the hearing of pilots Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan on their historic around-the-world flight.
