Paul Santo is an American musician, songwriter, record producer, and sound recording engineer. He is best known in the music industry for his work in the recording studio, collaborating with multi-platinum recording artists such as Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Kid Rock, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Ringo Starr, and Ozzy Osbourne.
His work has also earned him several Grammy Award nominations.[1]
In 2003, he won a Grammy Award for his work as a sound engineer and musician on the album Soy with Latin singer Alejandra Guzmán.
He also has a private consulting practice that mentors select individuals interested in pursuing careers in the music business as artists, music recording and production professionals, or session musicians.
His career in the music industry spans several decades, dating back to when he was just a teenager running his own recording studio in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It was there, on Boston's South Shore, that he crossed paths with another well-known musician from the area, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. The two hit it off and immediately formed a long-term relationship, both personally and professionally. Santo eventually started working with the band, initially as Steven Tyler and Joe Perry's personal sound engineer and later with the entire band. He is credited on several of the band's studio albums as both a sound engineer and contributing musician.
During that time, he became known as one of the "Boneyard Boys," a small, tight-knit group of producers and collaborators involved in Aerosmith's creative process when recording albums.
His work on those recordings eventually gained him recognition in the music world and led to collaborations with other artists and producers in studios from Los Angeles to London.
His music career spans several decades and encompasses a full range of musical styles and genres, from rock and rhythm and blues to hip-hop and country.
Santo played guitar with Aerosmith during their "Boston Strong" concert at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, filling in for Brad Whitford, who was unable to attend the show due to a family situation.
He also appeared on the recording of "Tears in Heaven,"[2] an "All-Star" benefit song for the victims of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The project was organized by Ozzy Osbourne and his family, along with Mark Hudson.
