In Episode 8 of Stuck on Sound, Joey Stuckey sits down with producer, engineer, musician, and lifelong studio craftsman Thom “TK” Kidd for a wide-ranging conversation about career conviction, recording philosophy, studio psychology, gear obsession, and the changing role of technology in music.
TK traces his path back to a ninth-grade guidance counselor form where he wrote that he wanted to work in a recording studio, a goal that led him to an Atlanta internship just weeks after high school and eventually to becoming chief engineer of a multi-room facility by his 21st birthday. Along the way, he shares stories about mentors, early sessions, Peabo Bryson, Tom Wright, Cheshire Sound, and a vintage Neve desk that connects Atlanta studio history to records by Soundgarden and Korn.
Joey and TK also dig into the human side of record-making: why producers are often “psychiatrists,” how to guide artists without shutting them down, and why the best ideas sometimes work best when the artist feels a sense of ownership. TK contrasts analog tape’s forced decision-making with the endless deferral of DAW-based production, while also offering a practical view of AI as a useful tool when guided by taste and craft rather than treated as a replacement for musicianship.
The result is a funny, thoughtful, and deeply practical episode about microphones, mentors, humility, creative struggle, and why, in TK’s words, “if you’re not learning something, you’re not paying attention.”
