Sound engineer Joe Visciano has worked with several major musical acts over the last two years — Coldplay, U2, Mary J. Blige, Arcade Fire, Buddy Guy, and The Civil Wars, to name a few. On Sunday, Feb. 8, the 25-year-old Dover native added another distinction to his resume: Grammy winner.
Visciano worked on Beck’s 2014 album “Morning Phase,” which won Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 57th annual Grammy Awards. Visciano is personally named under the awards for Album of the Year and Best Engineered Album (visit grammy.com/nominees).
Visciano works at Electric Lady Studios, the famous Greenwich Village studio founded by Jimi Hendrix in the late 1960s. On its Facebook page, Electric Lady announced the Grammys for “Morning Phase” and noted that it was recorded in part by Visciano.
Visciano currently lives in Brooklyn but is from Dover. Before landing a job at Electric Lady Studios, he interned at local musician Jon Nolan’s Milltown Recording Co. in Newmarket.
