Ryan Greene, a drummer-turned-live engineer at age 15, became MCA Music Publishing's youngest engineer, promoted from tape duplicator at age 19. "I couldn't even go to a bar and I was engineering some pretty heavy sessions!" he recalls. I worked with Glen Ballard, Diane Warren, Desmond Child, some of the best songwriters and now best producers in the world. "You work with these people and things start to sink in". Three-and-a-half years later, Greene moved to EMI Music, where he served as chief engineer for eight years. From there he moved to San Francisco where for 8 years co-owned Motor Studios with NOFX front man and Fat Wreck Chords owner, Fat Mike. Greene now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he owns his own studio CRUSH RECORDING where he produced, engineering and mixing the debut album for F5, the new band formed by Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson. He is also producing 4 songs for Dishwalla. A far cry stylistically, you'd think, from punk bands but Greene does have a very rock background in music.
