About Us
Jim Woodyard is our house producer and recording engineer.
Jimʼs recording career began as a member of the group Revelation and the release of
Another Day on London Records. His guitar playing caught the ear of producer Bob
Brooks, future owner of the legendary Vancouver studio, Little Mountain Sound. Bob
subsequently hired Jim for many of his productions and other producers soon followed
suit.
In his early career Jim released 2 albums as a solo artist and toured across the country,
including a 6 week North American tour opening for Roy Orbison. His songs have been
recorded by many artists, including Juno award winner Valdy.
With a young family and the demands of touring, Jim shifted his main career focus to
music production and work as a session musician. Based in Vancouver, Jim has also
worked in Edmonton, Los Angeles, Moscow and Nashville. He has produced music for
scores of artists and performed on hundreds of CDs. His television credits include Arctic
Air, Bordertown and MacGyver. He has performed vocals or instruments on international
jingles for Mazda, Nissan and Kelloggʼs, just to name a few. Jim also played on, and
recorded all the live music for the Simpsons million selling video game “Hit and Run”.
Recording at Little Mountain Sound and Mushroom Studios gave Jim the opportunity to
work with some of the best engineers in the business. He is very grateful to have
worked alongside Pat Glover, Rolf Hennemann, Bob Rock and Dave Slagter, from
whom he gained a wealth of experience and knowledge.
In 1993 Jim became managing director and house producer at Creation Studios in
Vancouver B.C. In 1997 Jim added recording engineer to his music production services.
