Not everyone has a clear idea of what they want to do for their profession during their formative years, but producer/engineer Drew Long had absolutely no doubt whatsoever where his own passions were rooted while he was growing up.
“I started out by playing instruments while I was just a kid in Knoxville, but I got interested in producing because I also had a fascination with how things came together on records,” Long recalls. “I was so intrigued by the things I was hearing. “I’d go, ‘How did that bass part come together?’ or, ‘How did this piano player think to play that?’ I had to learn everything I could about all those little details.”
