On Sunday, February 5th, all ears will be trained on the music of 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards®. This year’s celebration is packed with brilliant talent including the celebrated mixer, Jesse Ray Ernster.

While he has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, Ernster still maintains an approachable air. We caught up with Ernster at Just for the Record studios in Burbank to talk about the GRAMMYs®, his work on Doja Cat’s “Woman,” and how Auto-Tune helps him find just the right sound.

“To be nominated for a GRAMMY or to have a GRAMMY; it’s the best! It’s what we all want! It’s what we work for.”
