Meet the Manager

Nate R.

Manager

Landing at Berklee College of Music in the early 90s, Nate studied Film Scoring and eventually earned his degree in Jazz Composition. As a player he shied away from the competitive bebop jazz style and found himself falling more and more deeply in love with Reggae. Seven years of heavy touring and recording with the acclaimed and increasingly popular John Brown’s Body gave Nate a front row seat to many of the inner workings of the music and recording industries.

Relocating to Ithaca in 2001, Nate began to apply all he had learned as a recording musician to his new job as night engineer at REP. He quickly earned Tim’s favor by turning out great work on project after project. When Tim moved to Boston in the summer of 2006 Nate took over full time as head engineer of REP Studio and has successfully maintained the high level of professionalism and quality that our clients have counted on for years.
