Multi-skilled Jimi Maroudas started his career working as principal assistant engineer at the world-renowned Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne. Here, Maroudas had the opportunity to work with and learn from some of Australia’s and the world’s top producers including Charles Fisher (Radio Birdman, Savage Garden, Olivia Newton-John), Paul McKercher (Eskimo Joe, Little Birdy) and David Nicholas (INXS, George), as well as Grammy award winners David Bianco (Mick Jagger, Teenage Fanclub, Tom Petty) and Adam Kaspar (Pearl Jam, REM, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana), Ulrich Wild (Deftones), Brad Haehnel (Nelly Furtado) and Mark Wallis (U2, The Smiths).
Now Producing, Mixing and Engineering in his own right, Maroudas has displayed his diversity, depth and strength in working with songwriting/musicians at all stages of their careers. Clearly marking his intent - Producing music for Australia’s most revered artists to our youngest and brightest upcoming acts - Maroudas has developed a solid discography including multi-platinum Australian acts such as Tim Rogers, The Living End, and Bertie Blackman, as well as, up and coming bright sparks The Little Stevies and the fully orchestrated “Blue Atlas” album by Charles Jenkins.
Most notable current success came as an invitation to engineer Eskimo Joe’s album “Inshalla” alongside Producer Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, Pixies). For this role, he received a 2009 ARIA nomination for Engineer of the Year.
