Kevin Doyle

The list of artists he’s worked with reads like a who’s who of the international music industry, and includes Van Morrison, Andrea Bocelli, Anne Murray, Kiss, Yo Yo Ma, Alannah Myles, Hall and Oates, Glenn Gould, and Celine Dion. With a style of excellence that combines creativity and finesse, Kevin was nominated the #1 Recording Producer/Engineer ten times and the winner of three Juno Awards as Canada’s best producer/engineer. In addition, he has been nominated and won numerous Grammy Awards including the multiple Grammy Award-winning CD Goldberg Variations by the late Glenn Gould.

Growing up in Toronto, Kevin joined his first band at age fourteen. A self-taught guitar player, he played in local bands throughout high school. At 18, he decided to focus on music production and began to study seriously with the world famous faculty at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During summer breaks he played in local bands and produced punk rock bands.

After graduating from Fanshawe in 1980, Kevin went on to record the Demics’ ground breaking EP New York City. The Demics’ hit single has been voted as the best punk rock song from various leading publications. The success opened the doors to Sounds Interchange, Canada’s premiere recording studio in Toronto. It was at this studio that Kevin initiated a unique working relationship with Glenn Gould and Bob Ezrin (KISS).

In the mid-‘80s, Kevin began to develop an enormously successful career as a multiple- genre producer/engineer. In 1990, a Juno award was awarded to Kevin for his world-class mix of Alannah Myles’ Grammy Award-winning Black Velvet CD. In the following five years, Kevin was nominated for a Juno Award every year, winning his second Juno for Anne Murray’s album, Croonin. In the late-‘90s, Kevin toured the world extensively working with famous artists, while also volunteering his services in Africa and Russia. Kevin spent three months rebuilding communication networks/studios in the Congo in the midst of a brutal civil war.

At the turn of the century, Kevin took a two-year sabbatical from work and trekked the world with his two sons and rejoined the industry at the requests of Anne Murray, Andrea Bocelli and Jack Lenz (The Passion Of The Christ). In 2006 he added teaching to his credentials, where he undertook a music professor role at the University of Western Ontario and his former Alma Matter, Fanshawe College. In 2009, Kevin was awarded the distinguished Premier’s Award for his incredible contributions to the Canadian music industry and his ongoing commitment for social justice and equality.

Kevin continues to produce outstanding work in his home studio and consistently gives back to the community.
