In our 15th episode, Richard has a heart-to-heart with Audio engineer, producer and musician Shawn Sasynuik reflecting on their pasts and how their journeys have helped them grow to where they are today. Shawn speaks his mind and shares his thoughts on working on musicians to bring our their best and his experiences working with francophone artists.
A native of North Bay, Ontario, Shawn Sasyniuk combines heavy grooves with musical savvy. Though he initially gained his reputation as a solid and energetic drummer and percussionist, he is equally comfortable with several other instruments. It’s not uncommon to see him play drums, Cajon, guitar and mandolin...in the same show or on the same recording session! Live, Shawn has shared the stage around the world with many artists including Juno award winners Susan Aglukark, Roch Voisine and Wilfred Lebouthillier as well as ECMA and MNB award winner Chris Colepaugh. He has made television appearances on TFO, CBC, Radio-Canada (including a stint as the house band drummer on SRC’s Le Garage) and Musique Plus. Shawn has also lent his talents on both sides of the studio glass. He has played drums and other instruments on several artists’ albums, and has engineered, mixed and/or produced albums for Matt Thibeault (winner Outstanding Recording Engineer NOMFAs 2019) En bref, Kings Of Our Kin, Cody Allen (nominated for engineer of the year at the NOMFAs), Mireille Moquin, Offenbach, John McGale, Tricia Foster (recipient of the producer of the year award at the APCM gala), Serge Monette, and Anique Granger (winner of the WCMA award for best francophone album) to name but a few.
