ABOUT US
Carpet Booth StudioS
Carpet Booth Studios started as a songwriting and production space for Zach Zurn in Rochester, MN and soon expanded into a full-service professional recording and production studio in 2017. After outgrowing their first space, Carpet Booth expanded into a former church building in Rochester, MN to build out their Studio A, Studio B, and amenities.
Since then, Carpet Booth has been honored to work with both talent from the upper Midwest area and artists from outside of their region.
With successes like gold and platinum records and award nominations, and helping regional artists begin to find their own successes in the industry, Carpet Booth hopes to continue to make impactful art with people from every background.
