Gregory Scott: Layering Reverbs in a Mix

Gregory Scott is an audio engineer, mixer, and record producer from Los Angeles, California. Immersed in music from the age of 4, he has grown up with a deep passion for crafting sound. In 2020, he co-founded Off-Center Records with fellow engineer-producer Aaron Moxness to bridge the gap between indie artists and the technical, creative, and promotional resources available in the Los Angeles music scene.

Gregory’s technical expertise is grounded in a Bachelor's in Recording Arts from Loyola Marymount University. During and after his college years, he refined his craft at prestigious studios like Morning View and Westlake Recording Studios. At Westlake, he contributed to Grammy-winning projects such as Tyler, the Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost and collaborated with major talents like SZA, Dominic Fike, and Benny Blanco, among countless others.

As a producer, Gregory partners with artists to discover and fine-tune their unique sound, helping them create cohesive and authentic bodies of work. His extensive industry knowledge and versatile skill set allow him to support artists at every stage of their journey, enabling them to focus on creating. This has led him to work on the latest releases of artists like JMSN, Snakehips, Riz la Vie, and Mad Keys, and help launch fresh-faced artists like Cam Okoro, Eli Feier, and MAMA, I'M into the next phase of their career.
