Tim Latham is a Grammy Award winning recording engineer working in the music industry.
Born on November 18, 1966 in Queens, New York, Latham began his career in recording studios as an intern at various studios in Boston in 1986 while attending Berklee College of Music. He lives in the greater New York area and continues to be active in the music business primarily as a mix engineer.
Latham was born in Flushing, Queens, New York and was raised in and around the area until leaving to attend Boston's Berklee College of Music from where he graduated in the summer of 1989. While at Berklee he worked as in intern at Synchrosound, a recording studio formerly owned by the rock group The Cars, and at Editel, a post- production facility. Upon graduating he returned to his hometown of New York City and took the first job offered to him as an assistant engineer in a studio that produced the recordings for karaoke machines. While the gig was only a few months long, it was a quick study in how to re-create the sound of records he grew up listening to. He then took up residence at Battery Studios when it opened its doors.
Latham began engineering and mixing records for Jive Records including albums by A Tribe Called Quest, Kid Rock and Boogie Down Productions. After a few years he left Battery and expanded his body of work to include De La Soul, Grammy winner Erykah Badu, D’Angelo and Britney Spears. He continued to expand his discography beyond urban music when teaming up with producer Andres Levin, working on records for giants of Latin music Aterciopelados, Carlinhos Brown, Marisa Monte, Arto Lindsay and Daniella Mercury. Tim then combined all of his experience of various musical styles when collaborating with New York's genre blending Fun Lovin' Criminals. Latham has worked on every one of their records since 1996.
