Tanner's musical journey began at the age of 6 when he started playing guitar by ear learning songs from the video game 'Guitar Hero'. By the age of 10, he developed relative pitch and started performing with his band(s) around Maryland. At 16, Tanner discovered his passion for audio engineering and quickly gained a reputation in high school as the go-to person for producing high-quality music. He eventually quit his day job and started New Cut Recordings, offering radio-ready music at competitive prices. The studio's success can be attributed to Tanner's consistent, clean, and clear mixes and masters.
