Garth "GGGarth" Richardson is a Canadian record producer and music engineer.[1] He is the son of music producer Jack Richardson (Alice Cooper, the Guess Who, Badfinger, Poco), a pioneer of the music recording industry in the 1960s and 1970s.[2] Garth Richardson has done music engineering work for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nickelback, and Mötley Crüe, and produced for Kittie,[3] Biffy Clyro,[4] Rage Against the Machine, Mudvayne, Melvins, Shihad, Kensington, and many others. He cofounded the Nimbus School of Recording Arts in Vancouver, British Columbia together with Bob Ezrin and Kevin Williams. The school was named after Richardson's father's production company, Nimbus 9, and offers courses in production, recording, and audio. Richardson has the nickname 'GGGarth' due to his mild stutter.
