Over the last twenty-five years, Dusty Wakeman has amassed more than 100 production and engineering credits, working with high profile artists as diverse as Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, Meat Puppets, Buck Owens, Roy Orbison, K.D. Lang and Jim Lauderdale to name a few. 

He is also the production talent behind Bachelor Number One - Universal for the American Pie Soundtrack and Reacharound - Interscope. An accomplished bass player who's recorded and toured with Michelle Shocked, Jim Lauderdale and Rosie Flores, Wakeman's deep commitment to make music has given him a sensitivity that allows him to transcend genre. While musically versatile, Dusty continues to attract a wealth of talent from the Americana, country and roots rock movements.

To the Texas-born producer/engineer/musician, it's getting to the heart of the music that's important, which is part of what's brought such a diverse group of artists to him. From these experiences, Wakeman's been able to further develop his craft, including the recording of two Grammy award winners including the 1987 Best Country Vocal Collaboration, Roy Orbison/k.d. lang duet of "Crying," and Dwight Yoakam's 1993 Best Country Male Vocal Performance of "Ain't That Lonely Yet".

Wakeman is also the owner of Mad Dog Studios, a 6000 square foot full-service recording facility, located in Burbank, California. Because Wakeman has the advantage of being a working musician, producer and engineer, he brings a unique sensitivity to owning and operating a recording facility. "The more records you make, the more you know," Wakeman explains. "The secret is never to take the process for granted and to always pay attention to what is best for the client's project and to create an environment for the artist to achieve their vision."
