Producer, engineer and multi-talented musician Eric Taft has worked with a vast array of local, national and international artists alike in his time in the studio. His years spent writing, recording, collaborating, and performing with other musicians of all backgrounds has helped give him a well rounded approach to production in the studio.
Eric started producing for other artists while in college, mixing records from his dorm room at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. When he graduated with his music degree, he started the Buzzlounge recording studio and continued to develop his production style. Since then, he has worked in a number of regional studios, shadowing top-of-the-line producers and engineers, and gaining insight of all different production styles along the way. Whether it’s production, engineering, mixing, mastering or songwriting, Eric has worked with a wide range of artists. From metal and rock acts (Underoath, The Amity Affliction) to pop (Plain White T’s, Ashley Kutcher), to punk rock (Less Than Jake, Rehasher). Eric is proficient in playing drums, bass, guitar and vocals, and has provided session and touring work for a number of artists.
Eric also writes and performs music with Baltimore pop-rock band “The Great Heights Band”, producing all of their records as well. Being an artist and performer himself, Eric takes an artist centered approach to production, and does whatever he can to ensure an artist’s vision is realized and conveyed as effectively as possible.
The current home of the Buzzlounge is in Columbia, MD, completed in Summer 2023. The brand new studio also features a separate lounge and living quarters for artists to relax/stay while making their record.
