About the Guest
Tom Camuso is a New York-based audio engineer, producer, studio owner, and Grammy-winning recording professional with more than two decades of experience across music, film, television, and commercial audio.
Tom began his career as an assistant engineer on platinum-selling albums with Lenny Kravitz, where he learned the fundamentals of making great records. He later became a staff engineer at the legendary Magic Shop Studio in New York City.
Since then, Tom has engineered records for artists across a wide range of genres. His work on Steve Earle’s Washington Square Serenade earned him a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album in 2008.

In that role, he has helped restore Les Paul’s original recording console and first multitrack tape machine, while also working on the restoration of Les Paul’s music archive.
