Bob Wayne, Director and Chief Engineer Bob founded Sunburst Recording in a converted two-car garage in the Los Angeles community of Westchester, in 1977. Five years later, he moved the studio to its present location in Culver City. Over the years, Bob has worn a number of hats at Sunburst. As a studio owner, he is passionate about creating an exceptional acoustic environment, providing an array of vintage and modern equipment within a comfortable setting. As a recording engineer, Bob is dedicated to bringing artistry and technology together, ensuring that each client’s project is captured with efficiency and pristine clarity. Bob’s work encompasses a wide array of media (music, film, television, spoken word) and diverse genres (jazz, swing, ska, rock, folk, comedy and children’s). He has worked with local and national artists including Adam Sandler, Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer), Fishbone, Hepcat, Richie Havens, Micky Dolenz, Steve Allen, and Jazz greats Plas Johnson, Barbara Morrison and Ernie Andrews. Recognition of Bob’s contributions to the recording industry include: a Grammy Award for his work on George Carlin’s Napalm & Sillyputty in 2002, and four nominations as a Grammy Finalist. Additionally, Bob has contributed his music production talents to many feature films such as Election, Swingers and Guess Who. His work has also been heard on television in Alias, Smallville, One Tree Hill, Party of Five and the PBS Nova segment: Cracking the Maya Code, among others. As a record producer for over 20 years, Bob has lent his expertise to individual artists, record labels, and commercial music houses. In this regard, he was a founding member, producer and lead vocalist for Big Daddy, a 1950’s Rock & Roll parody band that released four albums on Rhino Records from 1983 – 1992. In addition to their recordings, Big Daddy was honored as a Clio Finalist for their original musical composition and performance of “My Kind Of Zoo,” a T.V. ad that promoted the 1986 renovation of the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. The jingle also won both New York and Chicago Film Festival awards. Richard Foos, Co-Founder of Rhino and CEO of Shout! Factory Entertainment, has said of Bob: “I have known Bob Wayne since the late 1970’s during the early days of the Rhino Records label. Bob showed a sincere dedication to these early projects and proved time and time again to be a talented recording engineer and producer. Over the next 20 plus years, Bob continued to make major contributions for Rhino as he produced and engineered well over fifty projects including Rhino’s first international hit record in the UK “Dancing in the Dark” by Big Daddy in 1985 and “Chantmania” in 1994, the biggest selling original project ever on the Rhino label.”
