Bill Warner - (Technical/New Media Coordinator) has logged time in his professional career as a producer, recording engineer, musician, staff songwriter and music publisher. He first picked up a guitar at age 8 and studied music with his father who was a bandleader and recording studio owner in Youngstown, Ohio. In a quest to broaden his musical palette, he studied jazz arranging and guitar at Youngstown State University also performing with the acclaimed college Jazz Ensemble I. It was there that he met his wife Kirsti (yes, the Songwriter Girl one). After touring the country with various musical endeavors, he headed to Nashville where he was signed to a music publishing deal which he was later able to parlay into an engineering career in the Nashville studio scene, first working at Reba McEntire's Starstruck Publishing company, and eventually becoming freelance working at dozens of Nashville's best studios. He has logged engineering credits with artists such as Michael W. Smith, The Gaither Vocal Band, Mindy Smith, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks among others. A lover of diverse musical styles, he keeps a creative edge working projects ranging from rock, dance-pop, to country and bluegrass. He is currently producing projects on rockers Absolute Zero, all-girl pop group iCande and Americana artist Judy Wright. Recent credits include mixer on "The Rust-eze Song" from the Pixar film "Cars", vocal sessions with country hit-makers Lonestar, Christian artists Avalon, and Cowboy Troy of Big & Rich fame performing his hit, "I Play Chicken With the Train" adeptly performed in Simlish for the classic video game, "The Sims 2". Bill works out of Nashville's Music Row and also owns a high end, fully equipped project studio a block off of scenic Old Hickory Lake just northeast of Nashville, TN (check out www.warnerworks.net). When he’s not producing, Bill likes to spend time watching baseball and traveling with Kirsti.
