Matthew Ellard is an associate professor in the Music Production and Engineering Department at Berklee College of Music. Over the course of his 25-year career in the music industry as an independent record producer, engineer, and mixer based in London, Los Angeles, and Boston, he has produced, engineered, and mixed well over 250 albums. This includes many world-famous and popular artists at world-class studios where the level of expectation and performance is extremely high.
