Michael Beinhorn Interview
Jan 26, 2022
multi-platinum music producer gets started in NY Gong, Zu Band, Material
If you’re a fan of NY No Wave Downtown music circa 1980, you probably know that Michael Beinhorn was a member of the band Material. If you’re in the music biz, you probably know him as the multi-platinum music producer of hit records by Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, Hole, Red Hot Chili Peppers, KoRn, Ozzy, with worldwide sales of more than 45 million albums, and a 1998 Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year. It was my pleasure to talk with Michael about how he got his start.
