Erik Veach - Founder/Lead Engineer
As the son of a performing musician, Erik's ear for music developed from an early age. Picking up the guitar as a teenager and later the bass, his affinity for songwriting led him naturally toward recording and audio engineering. Developing further specialties in sound and acoustics, he went on to earn a Master's degree in Physics, an EIT in engineering, and became both a fully elected member of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering and inducted as a voting member of the Recording Academy (Grammy awards).
Erik's dual interests in music and science inspired him to merge his two career paths into one. He founded Crazy Daisy Productions in 2001, bringing together his knowledge of acoustics and sound with his love of music and audio engineering. Erik has since mixed and mastered countless thousand tracks in nearly every genre of music and continues at Crazy Daisy as lead engineer and acoustics/recording consultant.
