 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.
