Ian Dillon was born on the 8th of June 1985, in Camrose Alberta. At an early age he was introduced to the workings of a professional recording studio, Patrick Dillon (Ian's Father) owned and operated Blue Room Studio in Edmonton Alberta during the 1990's. Ian's first tracking session occurred in this studio as he began to learn the fine craft of the recording arts and sciences. In his teenage years Ian would start his pursuit into the trade by setting up and managing the recording studio within his high school. The studio ran a very crude and early version of Pro Tools, and with Ian's help the school was able to launch a recording program with a curriculum that Ian had designed that was used for years after he graduated. After high school Ian would step back from his passion for recording and focus on a career as a musician, performing in New York city to Vancouver and everywhere in between. He self recorded many E.P's as a soloist and appeared in many acts in the Calgary music scene. In 2006 Ian decided to return to his roots and registered for training at the Academy of Production and Recording Arts. After scoring an A plus on his final exams and graduating his first semester with honors, Ian left the program for an engineering position at M.C.C Recording Studio in Calgary, were he would meet Johnny Gasparic and apprentice under him for the next 2 years. Ian quickly began to grow as an engineer in this environment. While at M.C.C Ian had the pleaser of working with many great artists and producers including Mark Howard (producer for Tom Waits/ Tragically Hip/ Neil Young), Rick Mizzoni ( George Canyon/ Joe Hick) and Econoline Crush to name a few. In 2009 Ian felt his training at M.C.C was complete and proceeded to open up his first recording studio, Electric Park. Originally designed as a state of the art mobile recording studio, Ian uses this set up to find character within custom spaces, he is now designing his 3rd studio installation which he fittingly calls "Studio 3" by Electric Park. Ian has a strong passion for music and the fine art of replicating the true essence of any performance, over the years the artists Ian has worked with include ; Matt Blais, The Perfect Water Band, The Whorehouse Massacre, Adverse Reaction, War Eagle Rising, Cerberus, Lowell Van Carroll and Insufficient Funds, Makeshift Innocence, Everett James, The Matt Blais Connection, Kindergarden, Cai'lin Kroon, Don Castro, Jaron Rovinsky, Doug Pettibone, Marcus Blake, Lindsay Ell, Free Radio, Lordosis, Bloated Pig, AfterEarth , Closer to Breakdown, The Electric Revival, and Faint Awakening.
