Kids Recording Sessions in Brooklyn
When Your Child Records Their Favorite Song in a Real Studio
What Is a Kids Recording Session?
A Kids Recording Session is a fun, one-on-one experience where children record their favorite song in a professional recording studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
We guide your child through the entire process, from choosing a song to hearing their voice professionally recorded and played back. The session is relaxed, supportive, and designed to make kids feel like stars.
At the end, they leave with a finished recording they can keep, share, and listen to again and again.
This is not about perfection. It is about fun, creativity, and confidence.
How It Works
1. Arrival & Welcome
Your child is welcomed into a real recording studio environment. We show them around, let them see the control room, and explain how the microphone and headphones work. This helps them feel comfortable and excited.
2. Choosing a Song
Kids record their favorite song—whatever they love. Taylor Swift. Disney. Hamilton. Pop. Rock. A song from a movie. If they love it, we record it.
We play the song through the speakers and let them practice. No pressure. No expectations. Just fun.
3. Recording
Your child steps into the vocal booth and records their song. We guide them with encouragement, patience, and positive energy. If they want to try again, we do it again. If they get silly, we laugh and keep going.
The goal is for them to feel proud of what they create.
4. Listening Back
Once we finish recording, we play it back. This is the magic moment. Kids hear themselves sounding professional, clear, and confident. Their faces light up. Parents often tear up.
We make any final tweaks they want, and then we deliver the finished audio file.
Perfect for Birthdays
Kids Recording Sessions also make unforgettable birthday experiences, offered as a separate, custom birthday service.
Birthday recording sessions are designed for small, curated groups, typically two to four kids. Each child takes turns recording their favorite song while the others watch, cheer, and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere stays joyful, creative, and controlled, not chaotic or overwhelming.
Because birthday sessions involve multiple children, extended studio time, and additional coordination, they are structured differently from standard Kids Recording Sessions and are booked as a dedicated birthday experience.
Every child gets their own moment in the booth and leaves with a personal recording to take home. This is not a loud party or drop-in event. It is a meaningful, confidence-building experience that kids talk about long after the birthday is over.
If you are looking for a truly unique birthday activity in Brooklyn, this experience stands apart.
Where it all started ?
My daughter Mathilda is six years old, and one of her favorite things to do is come to the studio with me.
She loves watching the lights on the mixing board, asking questions about the microphones, and—most of all—singing into a real studio mic. One day, she asked if she could record her favorite song. We set her up in the vocal booth, hit record, and watched her light up as she heard her voice coming back through the speakers.
That moment stuck with me. The confidence. The joy. The way she stood a little taller knowing she sounded "real."
That is why I created Kids Recording Sessions at Donut Shop Studios in Brooklyn. I wanted to give other kids that same experience—the chance to record their favorite song in a professional recording studio, with patience, encouragement, and a lot of fun.
This is not a music lesson. It is not a performance. It is a creative, confidence-boosting experience your child will remember.

Optional: We can capture photos and video during the session if you would like to preserve the moment. We can also create a short recap video to remember the magic of the day.

Why Parents Trust Donut Shop Studios
A Real Recording Studio
This is not a bedroom setup or a pretend experience. Kids record in the same professional studio where Grammy-winning engineer Maxime Morin works with real artists. The equipment, the environment, and the process are all authentic.
Your child gets a real studio experience, just scaled to their comfort level.
A Safe, Calm Environment
Our studio is designed for focus and creativity. It is quiet, clean, and welcoming. Parents are welcome to stay in the control room and watch the entire session.
We understand kids. We are patient, encouraging, and flexible. If your child needs a break, we take a break. If they want to try something different, we adapt.
Led by a Parent
Maxime is a dad. He understands how kids think, how they need encouragement, and how to make them feel safe. This is not just a business service—it is something he created for his own daughter and now shares with other families.
A Unique Brooklyn Experience
You cannot recreate this at home.
Recording in a professional studio is special. The microphone sounds different. The headphones feel different. Hearing your voice played back through real studio monitors is different.
Kids leave knowing they did something unique. Something creative. Something they will remember.
This is one of the most creative, confidence-building experiences you can give a child in Brooklyn.
