Dr. Susan Rogers on Geggy Tah

This is Unsung a Crack Magazine podcast with Sonos Radio where
the world’s greatest artists reveal their heroes who never caught
the spotlight. Today, we are in conversation with a bonafide pop
music legend. Dr. Susan Rogers is one of the world’s greatest
sound engineers and record producers – and one of the tiny number
of women in the profession. 


If you’ve ever had a dancefloor moment to 'When Doves
Cry' or 'Raspberry Beret' by Prince, you can thank
Susan. The technical force behind albums like Purple
Rain, Sign o’ the Times and Around the World
in a Day, she was with Prince through the sleepless
nights and notorious 24-hour recording sessions of his commercial
peak, from 1983 to 1987. 


In 1988, she left to produce other artists, resulting in some of
the biggest hits of the 90s. She then took her earnings and went
back to school, finally graduating from high school aged 44 and
then obtaining a PhD in music and psychology. 


Susan’s Unsung choice is a band she produced, who she felt never
reached the heights they deserved: Geggy Tah. A jazz, folk, alt
and experimental indie duo comprised of Tommy Jordon and Greg
Kurstin, together they released three albums over seven years on
David Byrne’s label Luaka Bop – the first two produced by
Susan.
