New York, USA
Russell Elevado or Russ Elevado (born Russell Roque Elevado in the Philippines in 1966) is a recording engineer and record producer raised in New York City. Elevado's achievement for recording and mixing soul wunderkind D'Angelo's critically acclaimed Voodoo album, gained him a Grammy award in 2000. Following the success of Voodoo, he has worked with some of the most influential artists and producers of his time. Elevado's work is considered to have a "vintage sound" and he remains faithful to analog recording techniques and equipment in the modern era of digital recording. He is one of only a handful of engineers and producers who still use analog tape as their recording medium, which sets him apart from most of his peers. Other notable artists that Elevado has worked with include Alicia Keys (Elevado mixed her commercially successful first single Fallin'), The Roots, Erykah Badu, Roberta Flack, Al Green, Blackalicious and Common.
