Why I Do What I Do
History
Since 1982 I've had the privilege to work with hundreds of amazing musicians, singers, songwriters and producers in all genres of music including classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, jazz, blues, country, hardcore, Americana, world and spoken word.
Working with record labels like Universal, BMG, Spitfire and Drimala, and recording such diverse artists as Zakk Wylde, Steve Gillette, Weston, Kim Sledge, Gary Hassay, Andrew Cyrile and William Parker has been an inspirational experience.
I have always been dedicated to the art of recording and producing unique original artists. The rooms, equipment, environment and vibe is all centered around getting the best performance from the artist. My goal is simple; I want your recording experience with me to be the best you've ever had. Everything I have learned and do is focused on this goal.
Testimonials
Zakk Wylde - Guitarist with Ozzy Osbourne & Black Label Society
"This place is awesome! You've got a really great set up here.. the recording sounds great!"
Gary Joseph Hassay - Drimala Records/ Saxophones/Improvisation
"Westwires is literally a world-class studio run by an incredibly honest, knowledgeable and caring musician/gentleman. Wayne has helped me tremendously to put on disc what I hear in my head. I have had the pleasure of recording with many internationally known musicians there, and all of them say that Wayne’s studio/work is a treasure, equal or better than many well-known national studios."
William Parker - Bassist - Columbia/Black Saint/ Blue Note Records
"This is the best I've ever heard my bass recorded".." it sounds so warm, is this a digital recording"?
Dave Zullo - Guitarist with Eighteenth Hour
"Wayne really went beyond the typical producer/band relationship when working on our interactive CD "Glimpse". Not only did he have the technical knowledge to help us achieve the sounds we wanted, but he also had the musical knowledge in which we could use him as a sounding board (and almost as a 5th member) when developing new parts & ideas in the studio. Overall, I think the reason why so many talented musicians want to work with Wayne is because he truly devotes himself to the success of each and every project.
JJ Zeller - Drummer/Producer
"Wayne is an excellent producer/engineer and I will give you four reasons why. First, he is a musician who writes songs so he understands the artistic process. Second, he has the best ear that I have ever worked with so not only does he know where to place the mic but which one to use. Third, he is more technically proficient with equipment then anyone I have worked with. Fourth, and most important he is a man of great character, which is something that is vary rare these days."
