Born in Chicago, Illinois, Doug Fenske is a Los Angeles-based producer, mix and recording engineer. Doug maintains a 16-year career in music production and engineering that has reached the highest pinnacles of success, including a GRAMMY nomination and six-time platinum status. Fenske’s vast experience on the Los Angeles music production circuit includes work on critically and commercially successful projects such as Frank Ocean’s channel ORANGE, Chris Brown’s Forever and Jamie Foxx’s Intuition. He has also spent time in the studio with Bruno Mars, Andre 3000, LL Cool J and Ryan Tedder.
Doug emerged from dimly-lit recording studios as an artist, releasing his debut album, Unread, in January 2021. A sequel to the album, the breathtaking Somewhere in Paris, arrived in July 2021. The trilogy’s conclusion, a project titled Violet, is currently in development.
Doug believes his purpose as an artist is to “bring people together through shared experiences.” The messaging in his songs, both playful and deeply serious, mostly includes navigating the various stages of relationships – beginning, middle and end.
In his artistry, Fenske helms the production, instrumentation, engineering and mixing. Lyrics and vocals are written and performed alongside collaborators Teen AF and Dr. Ransom.
