Brandon Mason - Producer/Engineer/Mixer
Producers generally excel in one area: vocal performance, arrangement, technical expertise, performing acumen, or capturing just the right vibe.Brandon Mason's talents as producer and engineer are multifaceted, encompassing all of these attributes and more.
A musician, writer, arranger and programmer in his own right, Brandon possesses an uncanny ability to hear into the music, to hear the impulse that drives the music, and to bring those aspects to the fore in the recording."Every record inevitably takes on a life of its own and presents a unique set of possibilities," says Brandon."The trick is to put those possibilities together in a way that faithfully represents the artist and to keep the process flowing naturally, maintaining the space everyone needs to tap into their best performance and get it on tape."
Brandon recorded and mixed The Zutons for SonyBMG with producer George Drakoulias at Sunset Sound and The Pass in L.A.
