Grammy Winner Dom Morley: 30 Years of Music Production, Mixing & Creativity

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Grammy-winning record producer, mix engineer, author, and former Professor of Music Production Dom Morley.

Over 30 years at the top of the music industry, Dom Morley has built an extraordinary career working across genres, artists, and creative environments — while accomplishing some of the biggest dreams of a professional music producer.

Dom learned his craft at London's legendary Metropolis Studios, working alongside influential producers including Tony Visconti, Phil Spector, and Mark Ronson.

He later engineered Amy Winehouse's iconic album Back to Black, a landmark recording that earned the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. 

Dom's career, however, extends far beyond Back to Black. He has worked with artists including Adele, Sting, Underworld, and Jeff Beck, embracing an unusually broad musical perspective. His deliberate approach as a creative generalist ultimately became the seed for his writing and thinking about creativity.

A former Professor of Music Production at Leeds Conservatoire, Dom also founded The Mix Consultancy and the music collaboration platform Multiband.

He writes a widely read and refreshingly skeptical newsletter for music producers, recording engineers, and creative professionals, sharing insights from decades spent inside the music industry.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore music production, mixing, recording, engineering, creativity, collaboration, working with major artists, music education, studio culture, and the lessons Dom has learned across three decades in the business.

We also get into his work on Back to Black and what it was like to be part of one of the most influential albums of the 21st century.
