Cynthia Catania cut her teeth in the Los Angeles music scene playing shows with Katy Perry, Sara Bareilles, Gaby Moreno, Meiko, and on, as well as co-writing songs with band members from Macy Gray, Fits and The Tantrums, and Joe 90.  Catania then gained production experience mixing live sound for well-known artists including PJ Harvey, Imogen Heap, Tears for Fears, John Fruscinate of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linda Perry (Four Non-Blondes), and a gig as the personal engineer for Eurythmics' guitarist Dave Stewart – all the while managing shows for her indie label.
