Meet Greg Zopke Zopke | Zopke | Music Producer & Sound Engineer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Greg Zopke Zopke and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Greg Zopke, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My business is driven by a passion for mastering every aspect of music production. I spend a significant amount of time perfecting composition, arrangement, mixing, and mastering to ensure versatility. While clients initially seek me out for mastering or mixing services, I also produce music for various projects, including artists, television shows, labels, and currently, I’m working closely with BMG US. Additionally, I work most of the time from my home studio remotely. This multifaceted approach not only enriches my skill set but also allows me to meet a wide range of client needs.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ve always had a deep love for Pop Music, especially the vibes from LA. That love fueled my passion and opened up tons of doors for me in my career. My thing is mastering every bit of music production. I put in the hours perfecting composition, arrangement, mixing, and mastering to be as versatile as possible.

Starting out as a pro producer wasn’t easy. I had to juggle side gigs, from factory work to retail, to make ends meet. But that hustle was key in making it on my own in the industry. Through the ups and downs, I’ve landed gigs with a recognized label and some amazing artists. From a small town in France to LA, I’m proud of my journey and hope it inspires others to go after their dreams.

Now, my big goal is to make a name for myself as a top music producer, known for my dedication and skill. Sure, winning Grammys or topping charts would be awesome, but what I really crave is refining my craft and collaborating with super talented artists. Working with icons like Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, or The Weeknd would be the ultimate dream

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Alright, for the ultimate weekend getaway in LA with my best friend! First up, we’ll hit the Hollywood Sign trail bright and early to soak in those jaw-dropping views. Then, it’s time to satisfy our burger cravings at ‘Burger She Wrote’, trust me, they’re unbeatable!

After refueling, we’ll cruise through Beverly Hills, check out Rodeo Drive, and then unwind with a relaxing walk through Franklin Canyon. Who knows, maybe we’ll even spot some turtles along the way!

And of course, we can’t miss the iconic sunset at Santa Monica Pier. Just gotta hope the traffic is on our side! Ready for day two? Let’s dive into Universal Studios, a whole new adventure compared to Disneyland Paris, which is the only major theme park we have in France

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to Sejal for connecting me with Shoutout LA. She’s an emerging artist whom I truly appreciate, and her music brings something new and refreshing to the scene.

Throughout my career, there have been several individuals who have had a significant impact on my journey. I am immensely grateful to my family and my wife for their unwavering support during both challenging and triumphant moments. In the music industry, DJ Swivel stands out as someone who has truly inspired me as a music producer and provided invaluable advice. I owe him a great deal of thanks.

I also want to extend my appreciation to my collaborators at the amazing BMGPM team, who believe in my talent. Additionally, I am thankful for the talented artists I have had the privilege to work with over the past two years, including Aria, MOA, and others. Their creativity and dedication have enriched my work and contributed to my growth as an artist. Thank you all
