About Richard King

"My job as a recording engineer is basically to make things sound pretty so the producer doesn't get fired."

King was first nominated for a GRAMMY Award for 1997 for Best Engineered Album, Classical for his work on Herrmann: The Film Scores. He was nominated in the same category the following year for Mahler: Symphony No. 3 In D Minor.
King received his first GRAMMY win for Best Classical Crossover Album for 2000 for Appalachian Journey, beginning a consecutive four-year streak of GRAMMY wins.
In addition to his impressive work as an engineer, King is also an associate professor at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montreal.
King has been a presenter and panelist at the AES Audio Engineering Society Convention, and he speaks at various university level recording programs on a regular basis.
