Starting out at Blackwing Studio in London, John's early career saw him working with seminal 4 A.D. and Mute artists including Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil.
John virtually defined a genre with his production work on the now classic Nine Inch Nails debut album 'Pretty Hate Machine' and went on to enjoy massive success in modern rock with the likes of Stabbing Westward and Gravity Kills. Not confined to one style however, John mixed the US breakthrough album for Jesus Jones 'Doubt' and has also mixed or re-mixed White Zombie and Sarah McLachlan amongst many others.
John Fryer, as detailed below in his impressive discography, has the ability to work with a wide variety of musical styles. He says he likes only to work with "good" music.
