Michael Beinhorn started out as a musician in the early 1980's New York downtown scene where he played keyboards and handled electronics and tapes; he is probably best known for being a full member of Bill Laswell's collective Material (as musician, arranger and producer). In the mid 80's, he moved into engineering and producing and has since made himself a name as a big-time, Grammy-winning rock producer.

Worked with artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Hole etc. Began his career in the late 1970s, playing synth and guitar in the new wave band Material. His big mainstream break came in 1989 when he produced the Red Hot Chili Peppers' hit album Mother's Milk, which contained the smash single Higher Ground.
