Today we’d like to introduce you to Sean McPherson.
East Atlanta Recording was founded in 2006 by Partners Eddie Edwards and Sean McPherson. EAR aims to bring the High-end Commercial Recording experience to the Independent Artists at a price they can afford. With over 20 years experience in the business Producer, Sean McPherson specializes in Artist Development.
Sean McPherson is a sought-after Record Producer, Artist manager, Concert promoter and Talent Buyer based in Atlanta, GA. He got his start in the music business back in 1998 when he landed an internship at Chicago Trax Recording Studios, owned by Reid Hyams and Al Jorgensen ( Ministry). After graduating from the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in 1999, he was an assistant engineer in New York City at Battery Studios (Zomba) and Chung King Studios, where he worked with artists such as David Bowie, Faith Hill, and Mos Def.
In 2001, he took an Engineer job at Parkview Recording with legendary house producer Lenny Fontana, where he mixed records for Crystal Waters, Byron Stingley and C&C Music Factory, amongst others. In the past 12 years, Sean has founded, built, owned and operated East Atlanta Recording and is now the Primary Talent buyer at the legendary Smith’s Olde Bar, where he books artists such as Drivin N’ Cryin, Matt Nathanson, Collective Soul, Rebirth Brass Band, Band of Horses, and Shovels and Rope.

Sean’s productions have been released by Universal, Brash, Plowboy Records, and Slushfund Recordings. He has also co-produced several songs with Jody Stephens from Big Star and Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Pavement, Ben Folds).
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
We like to have fun in the recording process, and I like to think that comes through in the recordings we make.
East Atlanta Recording – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
We are more than just a recording studio, EAR is a resource for developing artists in the community.
With over 20yrs experience in the record and touring industry, we dispense with practical advice and guidance that developing artists so badly needs, but seldomly get from a recording professional.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
In terms of making records, I define success as making a record that I would be proud to have in my record collection, as well as something that is not only relevant sounding but can stand the test of time.
