Meet Jimi Maroudas at the Abbey Road Institute Open Day!

We are proud and excited to announce that multi platinum awarded, Aria & Golden Guitar nominated producer, mixer and engineer Jimi Maroudas will be joining us on our Producer Panel at our upcoming Open Day on August 26th!

Who is Jimi Maroudas?

A multi-instrumentalist from childhood, Jimi’s skills on the guitar, bass, drums, singing and songwriting helped lay the foundation for his emergence as one of Australia’s premiere producers. Starting his career at the world-renowned Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne, Maroudas had the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the world’s top producers. The long list includes Grammy award winners David Bianco (Mick Jagger), Adam Kaspar (Nirvana), and Mark Wallis (U2).

To date Maroudas has amassed a solid discography, peppered with multi-platinum, award winning artists. Several albums he has worked on, including The Living End’s State of Emergency, Pete Murray’s See the Sun and Eskimo Joe’s Inshalla have reached #1 on the Australian Charts. Jimi’s contribution to Eskimo Joe’s Inshalla scored him an ARIA Award nomination for Engineer of the Year in 2009. Jimi also produced the single Cameo Lover, delivering Kimbra the 2011 ARIA Award for Best Female Artist and winning the prestigious Vanda & Young Songwriting competition. Maroudas has also appeared on backing vocals in You Am I’s Deliverance album and played guitar on Olivia Newton John’s Duets record.
