Gene Grimaldi has made a big name for himself in the mastering community. Having worked alongside some of the top mixers and producers in the industry, Gene has built quite a reputable client list since joining Oasis Mastering in 1996. Some of his mastering projects include Lady Gaga, Sean Kingston, Akon, Toni Braxton, Hannah Montana, Patti LaBelle, Jo Jo, Rancid, Mary J. Blige, K-Ci & Jo Jo, Colby Odanis, Pennywise, Nofx, Nipsey Hussle, Space Cowboy, Chali 2na, Breakestra, and Quasimoto.
Unlike his LA born colleague, Eddy Schreyer, Gene Grimaldi grew up in Bristol, Pennsylvania, where his interest in high-end audio and love for all types of music eventually led him to study at The Institute Of Audio Research in New York City. It was at The Institute of Audio Research, where Gene furthered his studies in electronics and audio recording.
After interning at recording studios in New York City and working as a live sound engineer in nightclubs and casinos around Philadelphia and New Jersey, Gene’s life took a fortuitous turn. In 1986, he started working at the CBS Records/Sony Music manufacturing facility in Pitman, New Jersey where he learned all aspects of the vinyl and compact disc manufacturing processes and found his calling as a mastering engineer.
In 1991, Gene migrated to Los Angeles to work at Future Disc Systems as a production engineer, and after five years joined Oasis Mastering as a full time mastering engineer in 1996, where he is happily employed today.
In his spare time, Gene keeps a balanced life by pedaling his road bike with his friends for a few hours through the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains, Conejo and Ventura Counties of California.
