Everyone around me said that music was a hobby, not a job. I ignored them and did it anyway. Fast forward... I've been fortunate to work with a wide range of fantastic artists like Dierks Bentley and Ingrid Michaelson, work on 10+ Grammy Award-winning projects, dozens of platinum records, and over 100 #1 songs.

F. Reid Shippen was awarded Audio Engineer of the Year at the 54th Annual ACM Awards.
