Tommy Cooper

Engineer with experience in the Southern Gospel, classical, pop, rock, jazz and swing genres. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in Journalism, he went to work at Web IV Studios in Atlanta. There, he worked on a number of well-known pop records in the early 1980's. In 1989 he moved to Nashville. After engineering a number of country projects for Epic Records, he was invited to record some sessions at a studio which produced Southern Gospel records. From that first session, Cooper worked almost exclusively out of that studio for several years, recording many Southern Gospel artists and all of the prerecorded music for the popular Gaither Homecoming videos. Since then Cooper has made a career of producing and engineering records from the studio in his home. Although he might be better known now for his work in the Southern Gospel genre, he has considerable experience in classical, pop, rock, jazz and swing.
