Paul Mutzabaugh is a multi-instrumentalist who has worked professionally for over 20 years in both live and studio settings, enjoying a variety of genres and disciplines.  Versatile in a myriad of keyboard instruments – acoustic & electric pianos, Hammond B3 organ, synthesizers, and accordion – he is also a highly adept bassist, specializing in electric bass guitar and synth bass.  Additional doublings include acoustic & electric guitars, as well as auxiliary percussion.  

Paul also works consistently as a producer and audio engineer in service of a wide range of artists, for which he has received Grammy and Emmy nominations.  Assisting others to realize their creative vision in recorded form is a particularly fulfilling aspect of his music-making.  Pinguino Studio was developed to meet pro-level recording and production demands for projects in need of overdub tracking, digital editing, mixing, and mastering.  A full gear list is available HERE.  

Paul holds a Bachelor's Degree in Music Composition from DePaul University and is a former marching member of the Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps ('97-'00, tenor drums).  He is a member of the American Federation of Musicians – Locals 802 (New York) & 10-208 (Chicago) – as well as the Theatre Musicians Association.
