In the newest episode of Behind The Board, legendary rock producer and Judge & Jury Records co-founder Howard Benson pulls back the curtain on a career built around one unapologetic philosophy: if you hire him, he's going to make hits.
Filmed at his studio, Howard traces his unlikely path from R&B roots to becoming one of rock's most commercially dominant producers, including how the early adoption of ProTools put him ahead of the field. He breaks down his litmus test for a great record (if the vocal cuts through a blown-out speaker in a car full of people, the job is done), why "pop songs disguised as heavy rock songs" is his secret sauce, and how co-founding Judge & Jury Records with Three Days Grace drummer Neil Sanderson gave him a new level of creative control. He also gets candid about the grind, and why every time he's ready to walk away, a great song pulls him right back in.
A two-time GRAMMY nominee for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, Howard Benson has helmed some of rock's biggest records over the past four decades, working with My Chemical Romance, P.O.D., Three Days Grace, Daughtry, Hoobastank, Kelly Clarkson, Halestorm, Seether, and many more. His commercial breakthrough came with P.O.D.'s triple-platinum Satellite.
