Susan Rogers is a record producer, engineer, mixer, and audio electronics technician, known for her work with recording artists Prince, Barenaked Ladies, David Byrne, Tricky, and Tevin Campbell. On Wednesday, January 18 Susan will join Omni Sound Project to talk about her career and her new book, This Is What It Sounds Like.

This Is What It Sounds Like is a journey into the science and soul of music that reveals the secrets of why your favorite songs move you. But it’s also a story of a musical trailblazer who began as a humble audio tech in Los Angeles, rose to become Prince’s chief engineer for Purple Rain, and then created other No. 1 hits ,including Barenaked Ladies’ “One Week,” as one of the most successful female record producers of all time. Now an award-winning professor of cognitive neuroscience, Susan Rogers leads readers to musical self-awareness.
