The Greg Wells Interview | Grammy Nominated Producer

Greg Wells is a multiple Grammy nominated record producer, songwriter, musician, and mix engineer in Los Angeles. His songs have appeared on more than 85 million albums. His credits are Katy Perry, Keith Urban, Twenty One Pilots, Adele, Pharrell Williams, Grace VanderWaal, Mayer Hawthorne, Greg Holden, Rufus Wainwright, Holychild, Theophilus London, Timbaland, OneRepublic, Deftones, Otep, Pink, Kid Cudi, Burt Bacharach, k. d. lang, Mika, Sir George Martin, and the Count Basie Orchestra.  Prior to producing, the Ontario native had a long, varied history of musicianship. At 3, already self-taught on drums, Wells’ grandmother taught him piano. Professional classical and jazz piano studies would follow four years later, with Wells splitting his lessons between jazz and boogie-woogie and Bach and Beethoven. A debilitating bone disease at the age of 11 left the producer bedridden for months with casts on both legs, enabling Wells to play and absorb a myriad of musical styles. In 1990, Wells moved to Los Angeles and hooked up with famed jazz composer, piano player and Prince’s string arranger Clare Fischer. It was Fischer who began recommending Wells for work and eventually, the songwriter would link with famed music industry executive Miles Copeland, founder of I.R.S. records and manager of The Police. After recording, and subsequently shelving, his own album — “It was a super-informative lesson in what never to repeat” — Wells turned to producing and writing for others. “I’m a musician first,” says Wells. “I am often the full band like on [Mika’s] ‘Grace Kelly’ and [Katy Perry’s] ‘By The Grace Of God'” That base knowledge is essential and rare, and it’s why rapper Theophilus London can roll to Wells’ private studio in the morning and Keith Urban can cut a track later that afternoon with both feeling confident with the results. It is this diversity, versatility and musical fluency that continues to make him one of the most talented and sought-after producers, songwriters and musicians in the industry. http://gregwells.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BEATO EAR TRAINING PROGRAM: https://beatoeartraining.com/ BUY THE BEATO BOOK HERE → http://bit.ly/2uTQFlo Mastering Modes of the Major Scale Video Course: http://bit.ly/2yhlfD2 The new all-PDF Mega Bundle!
