About Me |
|
| I began my music career as all producers do:
learning John Paul Jones licks on a Hondo P-Bass rip off in my Long Island bedroom. Many years playing in a slew of poor and poorly named bands throughout high school and college led to a storied tenure with Atlantic Recording artist, The Hatters.
Eight hundred shows, four years, and three albums later, I decided I had left my mark on enough truck stop restrooms, and landed a job at the world class Right Track Recording studio (Metallica, Hole, The Neptunes) in New York City. After two years there, I went off on my own as a Pro Tools editor for the likes of Phil Ramone, Frank Filipetti, The Track Masters, and Neil Dorfsman. In 2001, I partnered with A&R man Peter Robinson at Dumbo Studios in NYC and began a career producing, engineering and mixing records for a wide range of major-label and independent artists, including Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw, J-Lo, B-52's, Granddaddy, Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles. To date, I have been credited on albums totaling over 25 million in sales. These days I work primarily out of my own studio, The Lemonade Stand, providing refreshmemt to the bad-ass Mission Sound located just down the hall in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. If you want me to produce or mix your tunes, please contact: Wes Kidd (wes.kidd@redlightmanagement.com) A more complete discography is available at www.jonkaplanproducer.com |
