There's not much Joe Chiccarelli hasn't achieved in music – as a producer, mixer and engineer he's won 10 Grammys and Latin Grammys, and over the course of his 40+ year career has worked with artists as varied and diverse as Elton John, Oxbow, Frank Zappa, Morrissey, The Shins, The Strokes, Tori Amos and U2, to name a few.

We talk about a lot of those experiences in this interview, as well as the complexities of being a producer, how Joe got into the business, and a whole lot more.
