Studio owner and engineer David Landon has been working professionally in the music business his entire adult life. He is an accomplished guitarist, singer, bassist, composer and arranger as well as being an experienced recording engineer.

After 5 years of living in Europe as a musician and recording studio owner, Mr. Landon relocated to the Bay area to pursue his music career in 1992. Shortly after his return, David began working at Emerald City Productions recording studio in San Francisco. Within one year David went from intern to managing and operating the studio. After 3 successful years, Mr. Landon decided to build his own studio, and thus the project to create Whip Records began.

David approaches recording from a musician's point of view. He understands that the essence of recording is making the artist feel comfortable in order to make great music. Getting great sound in the studio is only a prerequisite to making great recordings. Music has to feel good as well.

In addition, David Landon's ability to read music and his extensive knowledge of many musical styles has proven invaluable in the studio as it allows him to work quickly when overdubbing, editing and mixing.

Since opening Whip Records in 2001 David has turned his attention to production and has helped a wide variety of artist produce their demos and cds. In 2006 David engineered and produced Alvin'Sykes' "Better Than Your Used to be" cd that won the Bay Area Blues society's award for best blues c.d. of 2006.
