After
graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston,
Dave worked at several New York studios and eventually
began recording and mixing songs for producer Teddy
Riley. Dave mixed a number of New Jack Swing hits
for Teddy, and then moved to Los Angeles to work
on Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” album. Dave
began working with other producers, including
Dallas Austin, Babyface and Antonio "LA" Reid.
Working with those producers, he mixed
hit records for artists such as TLC,
Boys II Men and Tony Braxton.
Dave
mixed tracks from the record-breaking debut
by the Spice Girls, and went on to mix chart
topping records
for
Savage
Garden, Christina Aguilara, Macy Gray,
and Ronan
Keating. He recently produced and mixed
an album for John Doe. Says Doe: "No Dave
Way, no good record. I'm serious, he is a master."
Dave
built a home studio, and there he continues to mix
records for a wide variety of artists.
