Garth Richardson
Garth Richardson (born c. 1960), known professionally as GGGarth, is a Canadian record producer and sound engineer. He is the son of music producer Jack Richardson.
He has worked with such musical acts as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Motley Crüe, Nickelback, Rage Against the Machine, L7, Mudvayne, Melvins, Biffy Clyro, Kittie, Shihad, 54-40, Hedley, Rise Against, and Spineshank.
He co-founded the Nimbus School of Recording Arts in Vancouver with producer Bob Ezrin and established his personal recording studio, the Farm, in Gibsons, British Columbia. He and five partners opened Fader Mountain Sound, a sound studio and rehearsal space that took over the space formerly occupied by the famed Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver. Richardson also created the Bandwagon, a portable recording studio used for music therapy by patients at British Columbia Children's Hospital and other facilities in the Lower Mainland of BC that cater to teens and adults.
He has been nominated for a Grammy, a Mercury Prize, and three Juno Awards, winning the Juno Award for Producer of the Year in 1997.
Richardson was born in Toronto and is the son of Jack Richardson, a prominent music producer who worked with notable acts including Alice Cooper, the Guess Who, and Bob Seger in the 1960s and 1970s.
From the age of five, Richardson would visit his father at his Toronto studio, Nimbus 9, and was inspired to follow in his footsteps. He started working as the studio's janitor at the age of 14. At 15 years of age, he worked as a second engineer on Seger's "Night Moves", which was produced by his father.
Richardson was athletic as a child, participating in hockey, football, and skiing. He attended Georges Vanier Secondary School and would work at Nimbus 9 at night. He later enrolled in Fanshawe College's Music Industry Arts program but chose to leave before completing his diploma, preferring the hands-on experience at his father's studio. His first production credit came in 1979 with Ad Up, an album by Numbers, a short-lived Toronto-based band.
In the 1980s Richardson landed a job at Phase One Studios in Toronto. Three years in, he was invited by producer Michael Wagener to work with him in Los Angeles for six months. Richardson left for LA in 1984 and stayed there for 12 years.
