Rob Bisel

Rob Bisel is an American music producer, engineer, mixer and songwriter. A four-time Grammy award winner, he has worked with artists including SZA, Doja Cat, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Harry Styles, Don Toliver and Jennie Kim.

Early life and education Bisel was raised in Moraga, California and graduated from Campolindo High School the same year as actress Erika Henningsen and musical artist Sven Gamsky (Still Woozy). Although he sang in the school choir and played bass, he was mainly interested in music production. He began recording friends in his bedroom when he was 14, and at 17 got an internship at Studio 880 in Oakland.

Bisel studied music at the University of Michigan. During the summers, he interned for Mark Needham, an engineer and mixer who had worked with artists including Fleetwood Mac and The Killers. Bisel learned from watching Needham mix and later cited him as an influence.

Career Rick Rubin, Shangri-La, Kendrick Lamar, Doja Cat, Grammys Following his college graduation Bisel moved to LA, where he met Dana Nielsen, an engineer who worked frequently with Rick Rubin at Rubin's Shangri-La studio. He was hired as a runner at the studio in 2014, and later worked with Rubin as an assistant engineer and engineer. Bisel said that Rubin inspired him, "fueling his hunger to dive deeper into production." In a 2023 interview, Bisel said: "It was a pretty crazy situation, because she was used to going to big studios with tons of people coming in and out, and suddenly it was just the two of us, and I had to step into much more of a Rick Rubin producer role than just be the typical engineer. It gave me the space to present beats to her that I had made, alone or with others. If she liked the beat, she recorded over it. She also ended up really liking the way I recorded and mixed her vocals, which led to me mixing songs as well.” The album was #1 on the Billboard charts for ten weeks, and #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop for a record-breaking 41 weeks. Bisel hit #1 on the R&B producer chart in May 2023. In 2025, he won the Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album for SOS and Best R&B Song for the track "Saturn."
