About the Engineer / Producer
Travis Hanna
Travis Hanna has been immersed in music since having Suzuki violin forced upon him at age 5 (for which is very grateful today), later playing in bands and honing his craft as both a musician and producer. What began as a practical effort to save money and maximize studio time soon evolved into a deep passion for recording and producing. Over time, he discovered that his love for the creative process behind the music was equal or even greater than his passion for performing.
As his skills developed, he began receiving unsolicited requests from other bands to produce demos and albums, propelling him further into the world of recording and production. Driven by a desire to continually improve, he immersed himself in studying the craft, ultimately earning a both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Berklee College of Music majoring in Music Production.
While completing his undergrad degree, Travis founded Electric Platypus, a state-of-the-art production studio dedicated to collaborating with artists across all genres and experience levels. Through Electric Platypus, he brings technical expertise, creative vision, and a commitment to helping artists realize their unique sound.
“ In August of 2021, I travelled from my home base in San Francisco to immerse myself in a 3-day recording session with the fabulous Travis Hanna at the helm. What we were able to accomplish in those 3 days continues to amaze me! Our goal was not small: track all rhythm guitar and lead vocals, start to finish, for 12 songs. This was my first experience recording my own songs and I was surprised at how vulnerable I felt, but Travis has a gift and he knew just how to set me at ease. Calm under pressure while offering creative solutions at every turn - that’s his super power. I’m thrilled with how the album turned out and highly recommend Electric Platypus for all your recording needs!”
