For the last 20 years Tony Hoffer has been producing and mixing many of my favorite records. He's worked with Beck, The Kooks, Phoenix, Fitz and the Tantrums, Air, and many more. But what is a producer? What does it take to become one and how did a kid from Los Angeles go from cleaning toilets at a studio in San Francisco to producing 6 grammy nominated records? Tony reveals all and tells some damn good Phoenix stories in the process.
