Producer/mixer/engineer Mike Plotnikoff has had a hand in some of the biggest and most important rock albums of the past two decades. A native of Canada, Mike began his career engineering albums from seminal rock bands like Aerosmith, Van Halen, Kiss and the Scorpions. But it wasn’t long before Mike took on the role of mixer as well, mixing albums for The Cranberries, Delerium, Yes and Motley Crue. In the early 2000s Mike began engineering and mixing projects with Grammy nominated producer Howard Benson, starting with the breakout album Satellite from P.O.D. The collaboration between Benson and Plotnikoff has since lead to some of the most successful albums of the past decade, including albums by Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Papa Roach, Flyleaf, All American Rejects, My Chemical Romance, Theory of A Deadman and Hoobastank. As Mike’s career has progressed, he has also come into his own as a producer, producing albums by Drowning Pool, Noise Therapy and the hugely successful album 15 by Buckcherry.
