Mike Kiner

I have been playing the drums since the age of 8. After 22 years of playing the drums I opened a recording Studio in 2000 with a good friend of mine named John Beard (Blackbeard Studio). In 2005 after a 5 year run and hundreds of recordings John moved Blackbeard Studio to Nashville and I opened a new studio called Songbird Studio located in the 619 (San Diego). Music is my life. I was signed to Virgin Records before my 20th birthday, traveled to almost all the states in America and have been to 3 different countries. Played drums for Asphalt Ballet, 13-A, Crank Wrench Audio, the antidivision, Deadtime Radio, Downtown Moneywasters, Bad Animals w/ Joey Bowen, Ruby Slippers, Street Angel, Shock, Infamous and Bastille. Recorded Hard-Fi, Mother Mae I, Tall, Festerbilt, Fith, Electric Junkies, Goulspoon, Awaiting Samsara, The Evergreens, Disgorge, Castillo, Arm the Angels and many others. I've done live sound for Motorhead, The Sword, Cat Power, Billy Idol, Iggy Pop, Gogo Bordello, KRS1, Supersuckers, Rhino Bucket, Nashville Pussy, Hard Fi, LA Guns, Media Lab, Divided by Zero, Metal Church, Accident Experiment and countless others. I'm the FOH engineer @ The Brick by Brick in San Diego CA.
