Producer, Recording Engineer, Songwriter

Michael Koppelman (hereafter “I”) spent years as a recording engineer and mix engineer at Paisley Park with Prince and later artists including Booker T & the MG’s. You can find more on my discography, which is available from the following web sites, at least as of the time of this writing:

With Prince my era started with Graffiti Bridge, included Diamonds & Pearls and concluded with Love Symbol, although my name has been on Prince records as late as 2006. I write more about Prince on Medium.com.

I produced, recorded and mixed the excellent Marvin the Album by Australian act frente and also produced and mixed A Man Called E, Basehead, Moxy Früvous, and Minneapolis folk/rock act Tea and Sympathy.

In 2023 I produced new music for several artists including Graveyard by Anastazia Acker and Fly by Katy Tessman.

I am also a songwriter. I wrote one song with Prince that was released by the artist Louie Louie called “Dance Unto The Rhythm” and several songs with Prince protégé Ingrid Chavez (esp. “Hippy Blood).

I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1988 in Music Production and Engineering with proficiency on guitar. My band, raintribe, released a record or two in the Minneapolis, Minnesota music scene in the 1990’s and have recently released a new single.

I write, produce, record and mix music, albeit selectively, upon request, with artists I love. Feel free to drop me a line if you’d like to run your project by me.

Cheers,

M.
