ABOUT

 

Jacquire King has just one of his many gold and platinum records hanging in his studio.

It’s Mule Variations by Tom Waits, a personal favorite in the mile-long list of critically acclaimed albums, multiple GRAMMY Awards, and national accolades he’s earned in more than 30 years as a sought-after recording engineer and producer.

Jacquire grew up in the Washington, DC area, absorbing a rich mix of influences from reggae to punk rock. While his friends were forming harcore bands, Jacquire was studying the noise, making cassette mixes, and learning to transform raw live music into a complex listening experience.

If Jacquire maintains one constant aesthetic in his work, it’s blending traditional recording artistry with emerging tools and technology. “Curiosity moves an art form forward, so I incorporate whatever gives the artist the freedom to create. I always want to be part of that evolution.” 

Jacquire is committed to playing an active role in the recording industry’s next chapter, serving as an ambassador for new technology and acting as a frequent mentor to up-and-coming professionals. “I don’t have any studio secrets,” he said. “If I can help someone figure out their own combination of talent and technology, I want to do that. If I can give an artist a new tool to make something great, count me in.”

Jacquire King is headquartered at his studio, The LBT, just outside of Nashville, Tennessee.

THE LBT

Jacquire King Builds His Own Space

MIX MAGAZINE

JUN 28, 2018

Jacquire King’s new studio ‘LBT’ offers the multi-award winning producer, what he calls ‘creative elbow room’ and immediate access to all the instruments he has collected over the years. Although you can still find Jacquire at Blackbird Studio tracking larger session in Studio D, he surrendered his personal space there (Studio G) when LBT became operational.

LBT is a ‘top secret’ acronym according to King and reflective of his vision for the studio. “I wanted a space that was truly personal to me and that in many ways you weren’t hanging out in a commercial studio but rather in a home environment.” On the more practical side he sees this as an investment in real property directly benefiting his future well-being.
