About Hal Winer

Hal is a Grammy-nominated music producer and audio engineer, with extensive experience in music production, facility design & construction, studio consultation, and project management. As an industry veteran and lifelong musician, he’s developed and honed an uncommonly diverse skill set; a blending of creative, technical, managerial and administrative knowledge accumulated over decades. He lends an acute musical sensibility and a unique creative approach to every project. Over the course of his long career, he’s built an impressive resume and established a significant body of work.

In the early 2000’s, after nearly a decade working in various commercial studios, Hal teamed up with the Russ Berger Design group and built BiCoastal Music, Ltd, an intimate, world-class recording and mix facility located in Westchester County, NY. Hal served as general contractor throughout the design and construction phases. He selected and supervised installation of all equipment, wiring, instruments and studio accoutrements. Upon completion, Hal served as owner-proprietor and house engineer – servicing major label, independent and private clients. The studio was known for its aesthetics, acoustics, privacy, comfort and cutting edge technology. BiCoastal hosted many top artists, producers and engineers in what was arguably one of the finest recording facilities in the world.

In 2014, Hal closed the studio and moved to Los Angeles where he continues to produce, consult and manage projects for a wide variety of clients and artists. Some of his more notorious customers have included: Bjork, Michael Franks, Steve Miller, Allan Toussaint, Thalia, Rob Thomas, Joe Lynn Turner, Bob Mintzer, Phil Ramone, Tommy Mottola, Oz Noy, Jack Wilkins, Warren Haynes, Howard Alden, Bill Evans, Clifford Carter, Tony Levin, David Sancious, John Patitucci, Francois Moutin, The Yellow Jackets, Dr. John, and Chicago.
