BZ LEWIS
B.Z. Lewis grew up in his father's home studio in a small town in west Texas. B.Z. remembers being 7 years old and duplicating tapes for his father's daily radio program "The Sound of Texas", spooling 1/4 inch tapes on an Ampex reel to reel machine. It wasn't long before the studio/music bug crept into his life. About the same time, he started playing piano and later developed a love for guitar. He attended an audio engineering school in Texas, and received his B.A. in music with an emphasis on classical guitar from the University of Texas at Austin where he was honored as one of the best guitarists in the state of Texas by Texas Beat Magazine.
He set out for California in '93 to work on a film that launched his career, and in '96 he started recording bands out of his home. The following year he moved the studio to it's current location, where he has been the main engineer for ten years.
Currently B.Z. is an ASCAP member writer and publisher, a voting member of for the grammys, and is enjoying a publishing deal with Media Creature Music in L.A.

CAMDEN STODDARD
George started his career at studio 132 the old fashioned way- he started as an intern. After working his way up, he is now one of the main engineers at the studio. He has mixed and produced several bay area bands, and has had a few film credits as well.
George is a good engineer in that not only does he know his way around the board, but he also sings, plays guitar, and as a producer he knows what it's like being on either side of the glass.
