I began my career at the renowned Sunset Sound studios in Los Angeles as an apprentice engineer. There, I worked with and was later recruited by George Massenburg, the brilliant recording engineer/inventor, to be his assistant. Together, we worked on platinum-selling projects for The Emotions, Deniece Williams, and Earth, Wind & Fire. When George took time off to build a studio, I knocked on the door of the acclaimed Motown producer, Freddie Perren, and was hired as his main engineer. One of the first records we worked on became a #1 Billboard Hot 100 single and Grammy winner, the iconic Disco anthem "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. Later, I was hired by the R&B group, The Gap Band. I worked on four of their albums, including the platinum-selling Gap Band III, which produced two #1 singles. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of engineering for many extraordinary artists, including Aretha Franklin, Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, and Celine Dion. In addition to working on record projects, I have mixed movie scores for major film studios with keyboardist/composer John Barnes, including "Daughters of the Dust" which was named to the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress. When the pandemic struck and disrupted everything, I set up a mixing room at home, and continue to work from there.…I began my career at the renowned Sunset Sound studios in Los Angeles as an apprentice engineer.
