Oven Studios is the personal recording studio of American singer-songwriter and record producer Alicia Keys, located in the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan, New York.
Background
Designed by the Walters-Storyk Design Group, the studio was originally located at 186 Glen Cove Avenue in Glen Cove, New York. It features a grand piano and two isolation booths.
Keys says the building is reminiscent of her grandmother's house and has decorated the walls of the studios to include pictures of
Nina Simone,
Janis Joplin and
Bob Marley.
Opened in 2005, Keys co-owns the studio with her production and songwriting partner Kerry Brothers Jr.
According to Walters-Storyk, the design was important to the acoustics of the building:
The studio was relocated to New York City by the recording of Keys' fourth album The Element of Freedom (2009).
