including Ozzfest.  Their last release, “I’ve Failed You”, was named #3 in Canada’s biggest metal Magazine Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles Top 10 of 2011 and continues to garner critical acclaim.  Most recently, Siegfried’s work with pop singer Scotty James sits at #23 on the Canadian AC Billboard charts and continues to secure more plays at radio stations across the country.

An avid electronics enthusiast (nerd), Siegfried Meier also builds various studio equipment such as mic preamps, equalizers, compressors, mastering VU meter panels, guitar pedals, control room monitoring devices and much more under the moniker Beach Road Electronics.  Taking heed of the wise words and practices of yesteryear, all of his gear is hand wired using only the finest quality components and circuit boards in the world.

Pro audio equipment and instruments Siegfried endorses include SJC Drums, Noble & Cooley Drums and Heil Microphones.  He serves as a judge for the Juno Awards and takes part in various seminars as well as lecturing at The Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology from time to time.

The song and the emotion being portrayed is what comes first with Siegfried, and it’s the biggest reason so many acts have chosen to work with him.
