American mix master Michael Brauer began his career at Mediasound Studios in New York City in 1976. From there, he went on to mix chart‑topping albums for artists ranging from Coldplay, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett and KT Tunstall to Bob Dylan, Angélique Kidjo, John Mayer and the Rolling Stones to name but a few.
