Triple
Grammy nominated Brad Gilderman is best known
for his versatility in mixing multi-platinum records
in pop, rock, R&B as well as Soundtracks.
Whether Brad is working with contemporary chart
toppers like Britney Spears, Samantha Mooba, Ronan
Keaton or Mya to legendary crooners like Tom Jones,
Babyface and Eric Clapton, he focuses on each
artist in achieving an individualized sound.
Brad started
playing drums and doing live sound before he got
an entry level position at one of LA's top local
studios named Davlen. He later moved to the legendary
Cherokee studios where he got his first engineering
break recording a 30 piece orchestra for Neil
Diamond. "Having mentors like Shelly Yakus,
Al Schmitt and Jimmy Iovine helped me learn from
the best," says Gilderman.
Then one day Tom Petty called Brad to invite him
to record his record. Brad, then 22, left his
family vacation in Hawaii for greener pastures
in Hollywood. "One call lead to another and
I became a much in demand mixer for some of the
world's top producers like Babyface, LA Reid and
Rodney Jerkins. Together we made some memorable
records by Destiny Child and Tony Braxton, Madonna,
Boys to Men, to name a few," adds Brad.
