SYLVIA MASSY

Sylvia Massy is an award-winning music producer and recording engineer with a decades-long discography that covers a wide variety of musical genres. She is best known as the producer of Tool’s first two albums, but has also worked with artists including Prince, Johnny Cash, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Taylor Hawkins, Jason Isbell and many other legendary musicians.

Sylvia’s bold, unconventional recording style is illustrated best in her book “Recording Unhinged – Unconventional and Creative Music Recording Techniques.” After years in Hollywood, she currently works out of her Pacific NorthWest ‘OddioShop’, an Atmos 9.1.4 equipped mixing and art studio where she owns the world’s largest collection of vintage microphones (over 2,500), treasuring some of the most rare and interesting historic microphones ever seen.

Sylvia is also an accomplished fine artist, often working on paintings during her recording sessions. Look for her commissioned posters as part of NAMM convention promotions, they are extremely detailed illustrations often containing vignettes drawn from experiences of studio life.
