Being the "Swiss Army Knife" in the Studio
Presenter:Greg Wells
Abstract:
Greg Wells is a multiple Grammy nominated record producer, songwriter, musician, and mix engineer in Los Angeles. Wells’ keen, adept musicality, versatility and mastery of multiple instruments quickly became the worst kept secret in the industry as artists ranging from One Republic (“Apologize,” “Stop and Stare”), pop superstar Pink (“Why Did I Ever Like You”) to singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright (“Across the Universe”), Keith Urban (“Wasted Time”) to Adele (“One & Only”) all called on Wells to write, produce or perform on the track. “It’s about trying to create something compelling, regardless of genre,” says Wells. “I grew up listening to everything and never wanted to limit myself to one particular sound.”
