Gianluca
Massimo
from the beginning to nowadays
My career and professional development to date has been highly varied, providing much opportunity and having had great fun in the process!
I decided to approach and study sound
engineering quite late, after many years of applying myself to different arms of the music industry
(drums, jazz and country guitar, jazz vocals, classical theory and history). After and during my
sound engineering studies in Milan I worked across both recording studios and live sound.
In 2015 I moved to London with the hope to grow professionally, and what a ride it has been!
I went on to work for Britannia Row Productions, as FoH Engineer, Monitor Engineer, System Tech,
and Stage Tech. At BRP I had the pleasure of working with many talented artists: Robert Plant
(2018-2019 Tour), Andrea Bocelli, Foo Fighters, Thom York, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Pixies,
Boy George, Ladytron, Machine Head, George Clinton’s Funkadelic, and many others.
Shortly after this, I started working for AIR Studios Lyndhurst, as an Assistant Engineer, Score Editor
and as a Recordist Engineer.
At AIR I had the pleasure and honor to work across multiple genres, from film scores, musicals, and records. Scores I worked on include; Elvis, 007 No Time To Die, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Stranger Things S4, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio, Acquaman and the Lost Kingdom, SpyKids: Armageddon, and many others.
AIR also gave me chance to work on many great records from various artists; Coldplay, Sam Smith, Yungblud, Taylor Swift, George
Michael (Immersive Audio version), Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Pete Townshend, Little Sims, and many others.
The cross-knowledge of the live sound and studio environment allowed me to work on some
convoluted projects such as Spitfire: The Stack, and to facilitate many live studio sessions in
collaboration with Amazon Originals, as well as recording Atmos performances of David Guetta in
multiple Ibiza clubs.
