Keith Olsen is a Grammy-winning record producer and sound engineer who has worked with Rick Springfield, Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Magnum, Journey, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, as well as Eric Burdon & The Animals, among others.
Olsen was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and went to school in Minneapolis, where he developed an appreciation for classical, pop, and jazz music. He gained production experience working in recording studios in the Minneapolis area, and musical and touring experience playing upright bass in jazz and folk bands. He subsequently played bass as a member of The Music Machine, who had a hit with the single "Talk Talk". During this time he began collaborating with Curt Boettcher, producer of The Association's single "Cherish", and met another early influence, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, who taught him "to envision everything about a production as you hear the song the first time."
