Gary Noble is that multiple Grammy awarded and nominated technician/mixing engineer with the ear that inspires magic. He is known for his knack of " bringing the artists' & producers' visions to life.” His ear is attuned to many genres of sound and music as reflected in his expansive catalog of award winning songs. His philosophy on life..."MUSIC IS LIFE. MIXING IS HOW I MEDITATE ON LIFE," inspires him and motivates the focus he shares within each body of work.
He studied at the Institute of Audio Research and worked at various studios in New York to hone his craft. He eventually met Salaam Remi(he produced Jazmine Sullivan, Amy Winehouse, Nas, The Fugees) who chose him to be his main engineer. The rest is history.
