Swann, Darryl Audio Engineering
Darryl’s first session as second engineer took place in 1986 with famed production team LA and Babyface as they produced the hit song “Rock Steady” for R & B vocal group The Whispers. Within a month, he became night manager and first engineer at Silverlake Recording Studios, literally living at the studio while conducting round-the-clock sessions and learning the Trident Series 80B console. After a break to earn his bachelor’s degree from UCLA, Darryl returned to engineering full time at Straight Arrow Studios in Van Nuys, where he wrote, produced, and engineered his first major label release with Motown group Pretty in Pink before his own group, Cultural Revolution, signed with Sony/Epic/New Deal Records and released the single “Nite & Day” on the soundtrack to the John Singleton-directed film Poetic Justice. In 1997, Darryl began writing and producing with Macy Gray, resulting in the multi-platinum album Macy Gray on How Life Is as well as her follow-up, The Id. His other recent projects include developing a music-related video game for Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft X-Box 360. At MI, he teaches Music Production and Track Programming.
