I do like all genres of music really, there are only two genres that I can’t really get into and they are rap and country. I’ve worked with so many artists in rock, soul, and blues, and I can find great pleasure in working in all sorts of genres. As for my preferred genres – I love big ballads (I grew up with Elton John) but I also like quite heavy rock sometimes. I worked with Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, and Twisted Sister.
I think when you’re a record producer; generally, your musical tastes should be quite wide and not honed in on one genre.
Music with passion is my preferred genre.
