The Team

Brad Shell

Owner / Head Engineer

After being in the recording and music business in one form or another for over 35 years, it was time to form Groove House Audio and concentrate on one area. He's always loved the art of mixing all the instruments and sounds together to make one perfect piece, so it was a natural transition. 

Having played in an orchestra, a blues band, a funk band, a disco band (that was a long time ago!), and even directing a choir, he knows what the different styles of music should sound like. 

While he loves working with all aspects of recorded audio, his favorite is working with video, telling the story and enhancing the experience with sound.

He'll never turn down a good Scotch.

A graduate of The Recording Workshop and Capital University Music Technology, he brings unique ideas and enthusiasm to Groove House. He has worked on a variety of projects from video production to compete albums, as well as the occasional riff-raff.

He is a lover of craft beers, bourbon and the Cleveland Indians.

With 20 years of experience recording large ensembles, a cappella singing groups, and his own band, he was an obvious choice to join the Groove House team. He also serves as "The Voice of Reason".

He is an enthusiastic home cook...Mmmm! He also enjoys cycling, backpacking and anything that includes going to the beach.
