Jimmy Douglass
Timbaland Studios, Virginia Beach, USA
Jimmy Douglass actually commenced his studio career while still attending high school, securing a job as a tape duplicator/editor at the Atlantic Records facility in New York. There he was able to observe legendary figures such as Tom Dowd, Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin apply their skills to some now-historic recordings. Not a bad education for a novice, while teaching himself how to work the custom-made 16-channel console during the studio's downtime. What's more, when Douglass asked Wexler if he could use the facility to demo a band that he'd discovered, he was given the green light. From Aretha Franklin, and Roberta Flack, to Jay-Z and Timbaland, he's come a long way since then, learning new techniques and adapting to widely contrasting approaches while flipping between r 'n' b, rock, rap and hip hop.
