Miles Walker – Engineer
Nashville transplant Miles Walker’s everyday gig is tracking for Sean “The Pen” Garrett (who’s responsible for “Yeah” for Usher, “Ring the Alarm” for Beyonce, “Run it” for Chris Brown, and “Soldier” for Destiny’s Child, among other hits). Together, they have worked on lead singles for Britney Spears, Chris Brown and Nicole Scherzinger.
Miles is also looking forward to showing off his abilities on Garrett’s upcoming solo album; he tracked all the songs for Turbo 919 and will mix several songs as well. Before teaming with Garrett, Miles worked with Usher, recording tracks for Usher’s Here I Stand and R&B group One Chance’s J Records debut. Miles also worked with Usher’s brother, J Lack, recording “Get it Shawty” and “Hazel” for Lloyd.
Miles is in demand as an engineer. In 2008 Miles worked with a diverse group of hitmakers including Ludacris, Pussycat Dolls, Nas, Ciara, Missy Elliott, NKOTB, Usher, Beyonce and others.
