Steph Marziano : As Artist-Led As Possible

BY MEREDITH HOBBS COONS

Steph Marziano has produced Sir Chloe’s Swallow the Knife, Jasmine 4t’s You Are The Morning, Vundabar’s Surgery and Pleasure, and Jenny on Holiday’s Quicksand Heart. Additionally, in her early days, she assistant engineered on albums for big names such as The Prodigy, Sam Smith, and Radiohead. Now, she continues to produce and co-write on a wide range of projects, including Hayley Williams’s Grammy-nominated song “Parachute” from the acclaimed 2025 album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. Apart from her technical prowess, what sets Steph apart in the studio (and on virtual calls, frankly) is her ability to make people comfortable; to make them feel heard and like they have something to offer creatively. In this conversation, she reflects on her journey into songwriting, the sounds that inspire her, and what makes someone a “good hang” in audio spaces.

Jack Petruzzelli : Build It and They Will Come

BY GREG DI GESU

A founding member of The Fab Faux, a highly regarded Beatles tribute band, Jack Petruzzelli has an even longer path as a session and touring musician. He has collaborated extensively with artists such as Joan Osborne, Patti Smith, Ian Hunter, Rufus Wainwright, Vanessa Paradis, Curt Smith, and Sara Bareilles. Over the years, Jack has added engineering and producing to his list of diverse talents. I had a chance to chat with him for a bird’s eye view from his Little Pond Recording in Cottekill, NY.
