Recording engineer, producer, mixer, educator & inventor behind Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Whitney Houston, Quincy Jones, Rick James, Teena Marie, Ice-T & Body Count, Black Sabbath, Eddie Murphy, Snoop Dogg, Layzie Bone & Krayzie Bone, and many more — now bringing that mastery to your students.
Bring Bobby to Your Campus →His pedigree was built in the rooms that made the records you know — and he’s been designing and building studios since he was 23. He built his own rooms, Cliffhanger and The Gallery, consulted on the updates to Wonderland and Bedrock (Teena Marie’s studio), and shaped rooms like Rick James’s The Joint.
For decades the industry has come to Bobby for the calls behind the call — business models, equipment purchases, studio-monitor selection, lending his name to venture proposals, even the make-or-break “do we move to Pro Tools?” decision when the whole business was wrestling with it. Even Michael Jackson sought his counsel on his own home studio. He’s the pro other pros ask.
And he’s still out ahead of it — the inventor of “Sentient Synthesis”™ and a futurist holding his own patents and building AI tools, working at the edge of immersive audio and where the craft goes next. Your students don’t just learn how it was done; they learn where it’s going.
Platinum records, world tours, film and broadcast — including Super Bowl halftime productions. Bobby has lived the moments most people only read about, and he brings those stories straight to your students.
