 His
credits speak for themselves... Alice in Chains, Rob
Zombie, The Offspring, Social Distortion, Poe, Filter,
Public Image LTD, Stabbing Westward, Love Spit Love,
4 Non-Blondes, Billy Idol and Anthraxare just a handful
of the high profile bands that Carlstrom has worked
with. Some career highlights: he recorded the famed
Alice in Chains - Dirt album and The Offspring’s
– Americana album. The latter sold over 10 million
copies.
After years of working with some of music’s elite
record producers and artists and becoming a highly recognized
recording engineer himself, Carlstrom felt it was time
for a change. He decided to branch out on his own several
years back. Carlstrom is primarily producing, developing
and writing now in theLos Angelesarea. With a growing
buzz about some of his latest development projects,
he's currently a very busy producer. His creative production,
recording and writing skills are sought out by established
and up-and-coming artists alike. Carlstrom continues
to be very involved in the recording process when he’s
at the helm. It is not uncommon to see him to wearing
both hats as producer and engineer. Between all this
he still fits in an occasional mixing gig to complete
his busy schedule.
Expect to be hearing and seeing lots more of this guy;
not to mention that he comes equipped with one of the
most massive DAWs you've ever seen (Click on photo to
