From computer science to Grammy nominations
Today, George Seara is an award-winning mix and recording engineer. He has been nominated for multiple Juno and Grammy awards, including winning the 2012 Juno for Recording Engineer of the Year, and collaborated with household names like Shawn Mendes, Rihanna, Drake, Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift.
For a long time, however, he was just a kid who loved music and computers and couldn’t figure out a way to combine the two.
