Tom Camuso • Grammy Award–winning engineer and studio owner

Best known for work with Blondie, Steve Earle, Medeski Martin & Wood, Lenny Kravitz and Les Paul.

Tom is a dear friend and one of the most talented engineers I know.

He has brought Les Paul and Mary Ford's legacy back to life. Along with the team at the Les Paul Foundation he has created a working studio utilizing Les Paul's original console and 8 track tape machine.

Housed in historic United Studios, Studio D at 6050 Sunset in Hollywood, this amazing studio also has a lathe.

Come by and listen to the incredible music of Les Paul and Mary Ford and see this working homage to recording history.
