Michael Gilboe – Producer & Audio Engineer
I'm a music producer, engineer and songwriter. Originally from Great Falls, MT, I spent eleven years (2000-2010) producing music in New York City, the last 6 of those in my own recording studio in Times Square. I recently moved back to Great Falls, where I built a new recording studio that opened in August of 2011. I am excited about my move back to Montana, getting to work with great musicians here in a more laid back atmosphere, as well as heading up a new Performing Arts Department at the University of Great Falls where I am teaching Theatre and Music.
I have produced in many different styles of music for clients ranging from independent artists to Tony, Emmy and Oscar winners. I take pride in giving all of my projects, large and small the attention they deserve.
As a music producer, I can help you budget, plan and execute whatever you need assistance on to make your recorded musical dreams a reality.
I hope you find a lot of material here to help you with your recording goals, whether you choose to work with me or not. And if you do want to work with me, I offer a FREE consultation to every artist. Please feel free to call me at 406-403-8323 to set up a no obligation appointment!
