Currently residing in Los Angeles, Kevin has a passion for all things audio and music. Kevin’s path to Chief Engineer for Apple Music/Beats 1 Studios is a showcase of talent and diversity in audio engineering. His resume includes; • Recording Engineer • 11+ years mixing major label bands on nationally syndicated TV shows. Mixed over 120 acts, from Taylor Swift to Il Volo. Also mixed records for Elektra and Sony music. • Audio Broadcast Engineer • 15 years supporting network TV shows, webcasts and location shoots. • Music Producer/ Musician • Create original music for over 50 nationally syndicated TV shows, from "Ellen" to "The Bachelor." • 5 years Neve Audio in LA, head of technical support, customer training, installs for analog Music, Film Scoring and TV products.
Keith’s introduction to audio came in his teens as an upright/ electric bassist and a guitarist. As a musician he experienced the emotion and intensity that players create on stage and quickly became frustrated when his band would spend lots of money for studio recordings that didn’t capture the spirit of the music.
