  • Mark Yoshizumi’s music education began in community choirs and short-lived teenage bands, and continued behind the counters of Chicago’s independent record stores. He persevered through a formal music conservatory education while playing in bands, and eventually found work pushing faders in large-format recording studios.

    In his now decades-long studio practice, Mark has worked in virtually every genre imaginable, developing an expansive technical acumen, a refined aesthetic, and a knack for communicating fluently with artists to bring out their best work. Now based in NYC, Mark has served as producer, engineer, and technical director for Pitchfork Radio and Sonos Radio and has contributed production, engineering and sound design for media outlets like Talkhouse, Gimlet, and NPR Music. Mark also teaches music and music technology and has lectured and designed curricula for SAE Institute.
