Career
Palmquist grew up playing piano, cello, and percussion in the school orchestra. In high school he learned guitar and started playing in bands in college, where he ended up changing his major to music. He started producing and made a demo for one of his college bands right out of college, and got signed to Warner Music through Machine Shop Records. They wrote 60 songs, got shelved, and nothing ever happened with that band, but made connections and learned a lot about how the studio works. He then interned at the studio Orange Whip in Santa Barbara where he learned from Angus Cook and Tom Flowers working on punk rock records, and was introduced to the Frank Huber book "Modern Recording Techniques". After cutting his teeth starting to produce for friends and small local artists, he decided to start pursuing producing and engineering as a career in 2003. [1]
