JET SETTING AUDIO INSTRUCTOR WORKS IN LA


Gregg Sartiano has been flying out to Los Angeles every weekend for the past two months working on the upcoming album of Warren G. Gregg was featured on the cover of Indonesia’s Rolling Stone magazine highlighting his Indonesian project which he completed just before he started teaching at the School of Communication Arts. (SCA)

The Indonesian project was a talent search similar to “American Idol,” looking for the next great talent in Jakarta. The winner received a recording session to record the next big hit. Gregg is still waiting for the outcome of that project, but uses examples of “real world” studio mixes as classroom tools now. Working with translators and numerous people with broken English, the project was completed. “The toughest part of the project was the language barrier,” he claims, but says, “Communication through music is a beautiful experience.”

Gregg is no stranger to the audio industry; he has been making “beats” and working with artists such as Warren G, Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Method Man, B-REAL, and many more. His best friend and colleague James Lugo is the vocal coach for many American Idol contestants. Gregg is well connected to the Hollywood audio world and recently had audio student, David Pruitt, accompany him to a recording session for Warren G’s upcoming album. Whether Greg is in LA or here at SCA he brings the real world insights and war stories of the industry. This is a real world plus to his students.
