My guest today is Grammy Nominated engineer Stephen Dent. Stephen has worked on records for Notorious B.I.G, Sean Combs, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, and Lil Kim. He also spent a number of years running Daddy’s House, the studio owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs located in Brooklyn. I met Stephen while participating in rooms on Club House. I reached out and he accepted my invitation to come on the show. We have a great conversation and I’m looking forward to you hearing about his journey.In this episode, we discuss:MotownGospelGo Go MusicYacht RockAnthony WellingtonOffset PrintingDJingMaking BeatsThe Forest Gump EffectSuper VHS/Beta Max RecordingEngineering Out of SpiteOmega Recording SchoolSSL Plasma MetersDC to NYCHouse of SoundBob RosaTackling the Tape LibrarySleeping on TrainsBefriending The Homeless The One Page That Changed His LifeWorking with Sean Diddy CombsNot Leaving the StudioGolfTeachingSons Man CaveMatt's Rant: Self EvaluationLinks and Show NotesStephen on Instagram: @inlikedentOblique Strategies: https://bit.ly/3lkhNkWWCA on Instagram: @working_class_audioGo Ad-Free! https://glow.fm/workingclassaudio/Connect with Matt on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattboudreau/Current sponsors & promos: https://bit.ly/2WmKbFwWorking Class Audio Journal: https://amzn.to/2GN67TPCredits:Guest: Stephen DentHost: Matt Boudreau WCA Theme Music: Cliff Truesdell Announcer: Chuck SmithEditing: Anne-Marie Pleau & Matt BoudreauAdditional Music: Cordova
