Kevin Antreassian: Owner-Operator — Producer/Engineer

Before joining The Dillinger Escape Plan and getting the opportunity to tour the world, I spent my time producing thousands of songs out of my studio, Backroom Studios, in New Jersey. I work with all styles of music and artists at every level. Creativity is important to me, and I enjoy working closely with every client, often playing small parts and adding in my own creative styling. Before I opened the studio in 2007, I graduated from William Paterson University with a Bachelors Degree in Audio Engineering and this is also where I currently teach the SEA program. Over the past few years, I’ve also had the opportunity to share the stage, both as a tech and a musician, with bands as diverse as Sound Garden, The Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Mastodon, Aerosmith, Glassjaw, Slipknot, and Todd Rundgren.

Brandon Ashford: Producer/Engineer

Brandon has been creating music ever since he was 12 years old. Before making the shift into recording, Brandon played guitar in bands such as Teach Me How to Breathe and EarthBound. From there, the studio environment quickly became his second home. Now as an audio engineer, he has been producing countless hip hop and r&b records. Not only with local talent in the tri-state area, but with international artists as well. What sets Brandon apart is his eccentric approach to vocal production and sound design. When working with Brandon, you’ll surely end up with something that is truly unique.
