Rob Cavallo is a record producer and A&R, most famous for signing and producing Green Day.[1] He is currently Chairman of Warner Bros. Records.[2]
History [edit]
Cavallo, born in Washington, D.C., moved to Los Angeles, California when he was about ten years old. As a teenager, he played in local bands, and after graduating from high school he began working as a recording engineer.[3] Cavallo eventually graduated from the University of Southern California where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Composition, Communications and Sociology in 1985.[4] In the mid– to late 1980s, Cavallo worked with the so–called "hair metal" bands around Hollywood as a record producer. This continued into the 1990s, but when the "hair metal" scene died out, he began seeking out alternative rock bands to work with.
Projects [edit]
Cavallo was an in–house producer with the band Green Day. Other than 2009's 21st Century Breakdown, he has co–produced every album from their multi–platinum success Dookie to their last album in the upcoming trilogy ¡Tré!. Cavallo has also produced four studio albums for the Goo Goo Dolls, 1998's Dizzy Up the Girl, 2002's Gutterflower, 2006's Let Love In, and 2010's, Something for the Rest of Us.
Cavallo has also produced records for Jawbreaker, Alanis Morissette, Goo Goo Dolls, Sixpence None the Richer, Less Than Jake, Fleetwood Mac, Jewel, My Chemical Romance, Kid Rock, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, David Cook, Shinedown, Dave Matthews Band, Adam Lambert, Switchfoot, and Meat Loaf, among others.
