Rising Stars: Meet Gregory Wright of West Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gregory Wright.

Hi Gregory, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I started as most audio engineers do, by playing in a band. I happened to be the guy in the band the gravitated towards the recording end of it. I started out as an engineer with my own recording studio at RTM rehearsal studios off of Ottley Drive. I was fortunate enough to have some mentoring by the great Dave Pensado. Over the years, having different careers ultimately led me back to being a mastering engineer with my studio Lair Mastering. I’m the guy that puts the final “sonic polish” on an artists mix.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Finding the time to do everything I want to do with balancing my personal and professional life. Also building a mastering business required quite a bit of time and expense that required a lot of planning and budgeting.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m most proud when an artist is excited about what I was able to do with their projects. Nothing gives me greater pleasure. My ears are naturally tuned to hearing detail, being able to listen to a song and within minutes know exactly what I need to do and how to get there.

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
I’m a big fan of Audible and love listening to “The Great Courses.” As far as books- Malcolm Gladwell and Yuval Noah Harari, nerdy stuff.
