ABOUT MICHAEL TUCKER,
SOUND PRODUCER:
While working at various recording studios in Orlando, Florida, Michael
Tucker gained valuable experience engineering various music projects,
including "C'Mon, Ride The Train" by the Quad City DJ's. During this
time, a new group called The Backstreet Boys was being formed. Their
management and record label, located in Orlando, asked Michael to help
the band record their first demo, resulting in The Backstreet Boys
being signed to Jive Records. As the group's success grew, so didthe
pop music scene in Orlando.
Tucker's experience and skills, along with good timing, put him at the forefront of Orlando's pop music explosion in the late 90s. He played a major role in developing most of the artists that were being nurtured through Trans-Continental Records and Wright Entertainment Group. His association with these labels offered him the chance to work with many artists that would soon become major, multi-platinum selling successes, such as 'N Sync and Britney Spears, while at the same time developing a very close relationship with RCA Records and Jive Records, based in New York City.
In 2001, Tucker worked with Max Martin and Kristian Lundin, mega-music producers from Sweden. This secured him a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year for 'N Sync's "Bye, Bye, Bye." To further his career and expand his horizons, he moved to New York City to work as an Engineer and Producer, where he contributed to many albums for Zomba, Atlantic, and RCA Records. At the same time, he also wanted to gain some experience as a producer, and subsequently worked with the Canadian artist Snow (of "Informer" fame), producing the hit song "Everybody Wants To Be Like You," which climbed the charts to #2 on Canadian radio.
After working on over 20 Gold and Platinum records, Tucker realized he wanted more from his career, wishing to become more involved with the business side of the industry. In 2002, he moved to LA. While still actively producing and engineering, Tucker is also working as an independent A&R Consultant, seeking to develop up and coming new artists and bands.
