Our fully equipped recording studio contains quality high-end analog and digital equipment available to bring your songs to life in the highest quality possible.
Producer and Owner, Christopher Hanssen, has been Producing, Engineering, and Songwriting for bands for over ten years. Additionally, since 2010 Chris has been the primary songwriter and guitarist for Avastera, who's songs successfully led them to touring around the world together with the likes of Mayday Parade, Sleeping With Sirens, We The Kings, Marianas Trench, and many more.
Opening the studio and commencing full-time producing in 2016, Chris quickly helped kickstart the career of The Faim (Small Town Heroes), after producing and co-writing their first two EPs which led to their major label signing to Sony Music. Following this, Chris then began working various other upcoming Australian artists and assisting with their early successes. Along the likes of Rin-Rin, Natuical Mile, Kastiell, The Faux, and Love Me Natalie, are some of the names that have come through ZMG Studios to bring their music to life.
