“In the middle of 2016,” says Wells, talking from his Rocket Carousel Studio in Los Angeles, “I had a meeting with film director Michael Gracey, here in my control room. The experience would force him to completely change a production approach developed over decades, and left his cherished collection of vintage outboard gathering dust.

However, until he began work on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for The Greatest Showman, Greg Wells had never worked on a movie before.

He works in a wide range of genres, and plays drums, keyboards, guitar, and several other instruments, with A-list credits including Elton John, Katy Perry, Adele, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Celine Dion, Pink, Dua Lipa and many more. Greg Wells has nearly 30 years of top-level experience as a musician, songwriter, engineer, mixer and producer. Greg Wells has worked with everyone who’s anyone in the world of music - but nothing could prepare him for mixing a film soundtrack!
