Gavin Brown

Gavin Brown is a Canadian record producer and drummer, most noted as a winner of the Jack Richardson Producer of the Year award at the Juno Awards of 2004 for his work on Billy Talent's "Try Honesty" and Three Days Grace's "I Hate Everything About You".

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, he originally pursued training as a classical pianist before expanding into playing guitar, bass and drums.

He began his career in the mid-1990s as a member of the band Phleg Camp, and later played drums in Big Sugar, as well as working as a session and touring musician with Crash Vegas, Skydiggers, Jim Cuddy, Danko Jones, and The Mahones.

In addition to his Juno Award win, he was a nominee on three other occasions, having been nominated at the Juno Awards of 2011 for his work on Sarah Harmer's "Captive" and "New Loneliness", the Juno Awards of 2013 for The Tragically Hip's "At Transformation" and "About This Map", and at the Juno Awards of 2015 for Three Days Grace's "I Am Machine" and Mother Mother's "Reaper Man".
