It was not long before we'd out-grown our modest recording studio. And in 2003 we moved to our current location in beautiful Colorado where we opened our Zephyr Room studio.

Many have asked about the origin of our name.

Our company was actually named after this ad campaign.

In 1986, owner Angie Dickinson needed a name for her new audio production company. All suggestions related to the fact that Angie shared her name with the actress Angie Dickinson (star of the TV series "Policewoman", countless movies and, a few years earlier, was seen in print ads for the California Avocado Commission).

Avocado Productions (which sounded better than Policewoman Productions) became the company's name in the star's honor.

A big Thank You to everyone who helped in the search for this ad!
