In this episode we talk to Aaron Sprinkle, an accomplished producer, engineer, and songwriter. Sprinkle has been in the music business for over two decades, and he’s produced numerous records for artists like Anberlin, Pedro The Lion, and Acceptance.
For years, Aaron was a prominent producer and engineer at Tooth & Nail Records – a successful label nestled in the heart of downtown Seattle – and the albums he’s produced have cumulatively sold millions. Aaron has an absolute need to create, and his insight and expertise into chasing that need is second to none.
