Greg Wells
Producer/Musician
Greg Wells
Greg Wells is a musician and Grammy nominated record producer based in Los Angeles. Wells has produced and/or written with Timbaland featuring OneRepublic, international sensation Mika, Deftones, Rufus Wainwright, Pink, Creeper Lagoon, Natasha Bedingfield, Team Sleep, Anna Waronker, The Veronicas, and latin popstar Belinda. Wells produced "'Apologize" by Timbaland featuring OneRepublic which recently became the most played Top 40 hit of the past 20 years within a one week period, reported by Mediabase, November 12, 2007.

"To me, the best thing a record can have are songs that feel genuine for a compelling artist. The gear is enormously important, as is the arrangement and the players themselves, but without the match of a strong artist with strong songs, nothing sounds good. How many horrible records have been made at the world's best studios? The hardest lesson for me has been to remain objective. I advise against working brutal hours in the studio. The longer you work on a piece of music, the less chance you have of listening the way someone will hear it the first time."
