About

Roger Béchirian is a multi-platinum-awarded recording and mixing engineer, and producer. In a career that already spans 4 decades he is credited with over 200 hit singles and albums.

His initiation began with recording some of the basic tracks for The Sex Pistols’ “Never Mind The Bollocks” album, and he quickly became a key player in the British new wave scene. He became renowned for his mixing work for the legendary Stiff Records which paved the way for his first co-produced hit, Lene Lovich’s “Lucky Number”. He is widely credited for moulding the sound of some of that period’s finest hitmakers including Elvis Costello, The Undertones, and Squeeze.

Building on his early successes Roger spent his time working between the UK and the USA developing and producing new and established artists for major and independent label releases. By the beginning of the new millennium Roger added management to his skill set…He discovered and developed Tom McRae signing him to db/BMG/Arista records, whose emergence led to a Q Award and nominations for a Mercury Prize Award, and a Brit Award. At the same time he managed highly successful Irish 4-piece Bell X1, signing them to Island/Universal in London, garnering 4 Choice Music Prize Irish Album of the Year nominations and producing their breakthrough multi platinum album ‘Flock’.

Since then he has continued to work with numerous emerging artists, amongst which, Bear Driver, Samsa, Stewart Agnew, D Cullen, O’Emperor, StoryBox, to name a few.

From his studio in London, Roger continues to engineer, mix and produce.
