Bio
Neil Godbole, a Bay Area native, grew up surrounded by music — discovering his passion for the recording process watching his father compose, arrange, and produce his own records in the '80s and '90s.
Neil holds a B.S. in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA, where he specialized in Artificial Intelligence and Psychoacoustics. After a decade in tech and finance, he took over engineering and production at the world-famous Studio D at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco from 2009 to 2011.
In 2011, Neil was named successor to the long-enduring Bayview Studios in the East Bay. After renovations, the studio reopened as Airship Laboratories, where Neil brings his interdisciplinary background to production and engineering — collaborating with producers, songwriters, film directors, dance companies, and musicians across genres.
Neil is a Recording Academy voting member and part of the San Francisco Chapter Producers & Engineers Wing.
