John Gillies

John Gillies has been recording, mixing, and producing music in Los Angeles for over three decades. Some of his past clients at the historic Studio 9 Hollywood (one of the world's oldest sound studios) include Misfits, Bad Religion, James Jamison, Peter Nune, The Music Machine, PJ Proby, Sky Saxson, Kim Fowley, Pee Wee Herman/Paul Rubin, Los Bukis, The Chemical People, Richard Elliot, Saigon Saloon, The Rock City Angels and Members of Black Flag, Red Cross and The Plimsouls and more. John also has worked on songs featured in television and film. Today he can be found creating at the new Atwater Village location of Studio 9 where he produces original music, mixed collaborations, and client projects for Orange Beat Records. 

Comprised of John Gillies and Graham Daddy, Gillies Daddy is a long term collaboration released through Orange Beat. Their catalogue spans four full length released records and counting with more on the horizon for 2023. John and Graham have been bringing songs to life since meeting in their youth at United College of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. After discovering a shared passion for music, the friends moved to Los Angeles, CA where they worked as songwriters and producers both together and separately. Their recent co-written album "Delusions of Grandeur", reflects the distinct styles and personalities of each writer. John brings a methodical and optimistic view in his lyrics where as Graham provides a more moody and contemplative one. Blended together both styles set the tone of their melodic pop records.
