History
Chris Dugan (born May 11, 1973) is an American engineer and producer. He is also a drummer, videographer, and photographer.
Dugan began his musical pursuits as a drummer. Needing to be resourceful, he learned to do basic recordings for his high school bands. Engineering was an instinctual progression and it was the purist recording styles of the 60s and 70s that really inspired him. In 1996, he opened Nu-Tone Studios in Pittsburg, Ca with fellow engineer Willie Samuels. Nu-Tone quickly became an indie band favorite, drawing the local rock scene and labels like Lookout, Adeline, and Alternative Tentacles. In 2003, The Effection, with Dugan as the band’s drummer, released the album “Soundtrack To A Moment” on Adeline Records. In 2002, Dugan began engineering for Green Day out of JingleTown Recording in Oakland, Ca, at that time called Studio 880. In 2010, he won his first Grammy with Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown" winning Best Rock Album.
Dugan currently resides in Oakland, Ca. In August 2013, he married Mari Tanaka, JingleTown Recording's studio manager.
Projects
