Greenwell is a producer, engi-
neer, mixer and musician who
has worked on albums garner-
ing three Grammy nomina-

gineering, mixing, performing,

runs from some of the biggest
names in hip hop history (Run-

legends (Ernie Isley, Jeff Beck)
to working alongside produc-
ers like Raphael Sadiq and Nile
NJ STAGE - ISSUE 45
by Gary Wien
Rodgers. As a producer himself,
he’s guided releases by artists
like Joss Stone and James Mad-
dock, as well as the recently re-
leased Thistle & Boon record by
Jersey artist Karen Mansfield.
New Jersey Stage caught up
with the Maryland native to get
his whole story - how he started
out, what led him to the studio,
and what he looks for in record-
ing artists.
You started out as a musician
yourself right?
Yes, I grew up just outside of
DC. I played in my band all
through the 1980s. We used to
play Atlanta to Scranton. We
never got to the Jersey Shore or
New York City though.
