Ken Lewis is a top major label producer, mixer, songwriter and musician based out of NY, NY, USA. In our conversation, Ken shared his journey; begging his parents for a guitar, making a name for himself by working with Kanye West and staying busy by being available to deliver. We go deep on his approach to mixing, his unique approach to comping vocals (mind-blowing for me), Mixing Night (his free educational/entertainment platform), developing his own plugin, and so much more! Check it out!
