Professional background

Bob Ezrin attended Oakwood Collegiate Institute High School in Toronto, graduating in 1967.

As a record producer, Ezrin first attained fame in the 1970s, producing classic albums for Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, and Kiss. Perhaps the most well-known work Ezrin produced is Pink Floyd's The Wall. He has been described as having an intense personality, and as the "Francis Ford Coppola" of record producers. His production style tends to employ arranging techniques from classical music. On his first solo album Peter Gabriel felt that the track "Here Comes the Flood" was over-produced by Ezrin and thus Gabriel created a far simpler rendition which can be found on Robert Fripp's album, Exposure. He is noted as an innovator and technical groundbreaker having been one of the earliest adopters of multi-machine recording and computer sequencing, sampling, and editing. In the 80's and 90's Ezrin worked with numerous artists including David Gilmour, Pink Floyd, Berlin, Rod Stewart, Heroes del Silencio, Julian Lennon, Bonham, The Jayhawks and Kula Shaker. Ezrin has continued to produce successfully into the late 90s and 00s working with such artists as 30 Seconds to Mars, Jane's Addiction, The Darkness, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones and Army of Anyone.
