Zapp City Studios is a high-end, fully equipped rehearsal and recording studio and backline rental facility. It’s a place where I bring all my professional music industry experience and passion and share it with you, with a huge emphasis on providing a stellar client experience.

Being in the music industry for nearly 30 years, I’ve worked in many recording and rehearsal studios. Some great, most not. Even some of the most well-known facilities suffer from backed-up toilets, cold stale coffee and a general lack of vibe; not to mention, trashed entry-level backline gear.

After an unsuccessful search for an hourly rehearsal spot here in Tucson, I decided to create a space packed with vibe, loaded with top-notch gear and where you don’t have to be afraid to use the bathroom. I wanted to build a place you’d be excited to go to every day while recording your new album. A sanctuary to come and woodshed new material or dust off the old tunes; a comfortable, hospitable and cool place you’d want to work time and time again.
