Wood is the Owner/ Producer and Chief Engineer at Planetwood Studios, LLC.
C atharine Wood has worked on hundreds of national and international ad campaigns as a post-production expert, including the first Apple commercial. As a mix and mastering engineer, she has over 500 original compositions that can be heard on NBC, CBS, BBC, and many more networks. Wood is also a GRAMMY® Voting Member and a Voting Member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. As she is busy producer, composer, engineer, and owner of Planetwood Productions, I’m thankful she took the time out of her busy schedule to answer some of my questions. Q: Growing up, who or what type of music influenced you the most, and at what point did you decide this was the industry for you? A: This is an interesting question. My early influences by The Beatles, Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Delta Blues, the 1970s “singer- songwriter” phenomenon, Soul music, and old-school doo-wop have a lot to do with my appreciation of music with my style. As a professional in the industry, I am hired to do as the artist wishes (or the project requires)—not really putting “my thing” on their sound.
