edit data

Heather R. Johnson interviewed hundreds of recording artists, producers and engineers as a leading professional audio journalist from 1999 to 2009. During that time, she wrote for Mix, Electronic Musician, EQ, Audio Media and Performing Songwriter, among others. Thompson Course Technology (Course PTR) published If These Halls Could Talk in 2006.

In the years to follow, she watched some of the San Francisco Bay Area's preeminent recording studios convert to condominiums and Airbnbs. In an effort to keep her home's history from getting lost in the rubble, she obtained the rights and republished this book on her own. She now lives and works as a content marketing writer and copywriter in Oakland, California.
