Bob Marlette

Bob Marlette has grown to be one of the most iconic and versatile producers of the Rock and Heavy Metal genres. Early on working as a session musician with artists like Al Stewart on Year of the Cat and Time Passages, he went on to begin writing music and co-producing with David Kirshenbaum. His work as a songwriter, producer, and mixer led him to collaborate with influential artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rob Zombie, Black Sabbath, Tracy Chapman, Alice Cooper, Tony Iommi, Sheryl Crow, and more.

Marlette has had his hand in both commercial hits and cult classics of his genre. Shinedown’s Leave A Whisper, which Bob produced, mixed and engineered, went on to become multi-platinum. Saliva’s Grammy-nominated record Every Six Seconds also went Platinum. He produced, mixed, and engineered the album and co-wrote the hit single “Click Click Boom,” described as “a mosh king’s dream” upon its release. He also produced Black Sabbath’s 1998 album Reunion, which went Platinum in the U.S. and Canada, and his work on Seether’s Disclaimer II contributed to the vast success of that Platinum album. Recently, Bob has worked with artists like Red Sun Rising, Airbourne, Texas Hippie Coalition, and Vanderberg.

To help aid the next generation of producers, mixers, and audio engineers, Bob has been sharing his wisdom with online resources like Pro Mix Academy and Produce Like A Pro, cementing his legacy and ongoing work.
