WHO IS PAUL BOUTIN?
Paul was born and raised in France. After undergraduate studies in biological engineering, Paul moved to the United States to pursue a career in music, his true passion. He studied music production and sound engineering at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. By the end of 1995, Rose Mann hired Paul as a runner at the famous Record Plant in Los Angeles. From this renowned studio, Paul learned his craft in top-of-the line recording rooms by night while serving Lattes to luminaries such as Prince or Michael Jackson by day. From a runner’s position, Paul progressed rapidly to being assistant engineer on a mixing session for ‘Waiting to Exhale’, a soundtrack album produced by Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.
When Babyface opened his own private studio, Brandon’s Way, in the summer of 1996, Paul joined him as an assistant engineer, soon to be head engineer with in the year.
At Brandon’s Way, Paul has had the opportunity to work with many of the people who once inspired him to ditch a career in engineering for one in music. As fate would have it, his engineering and programming skills have proved invaluable as the music industry has shifted from analog to digital technologies over the past twenty years. Paul has never looked back with anything but gratitude.
It never ends
