Anna Clark is an audio engineer passionate about helping artists share their stories through quality production and engineering. She started her career at Welcome to 1979 in Nashville, TN as a vinyl mastering engineer, where she was able to work on over 200 projects for bands such as Beck, Iggy Azalea, Lisa Loeb and even direct-to-disc albums for Old Crow Medicine Show and Blackberry Smoke. At only nineteen years old, Anna worked on her first Grammy-nominated recording for Netflix. Now, Anna freelances as a mastering and tracking engineer to help artists get their music out into the world. She currently runs Live to Vinyl Nashville, where she brings mobile vinyl cutting lathes to music venues across Tennessee for direct-to-disc recordings. Artists such as Claire Kelly, Caroline Dare, and more have participated in this project.
When not working on audio projects, Anna continues to work toward her mission of helping artists share their stories by running the 501(c)(3) organization Guitars 4 Gifts, which has given over 1,000 youth access to their first musical instrument thanks to national partnerships with El Sistema USA, CreatiVets, Krutz Strings, Alfred Music Publishers, and the D’Addario Foundation. Guitars 4 Gifts has been featured in stories by SixDegrees.org, The Women’s International Music Network, Real People by Rudy Kalis on WSMV (Nashville’s NBC Affiliate), and Nashville by Nicole on Lightning 100.
In 2016, Anna got a Certificate in Music Business from Berklee College of Music and a bachelor’s degree from Belmont University in 2022. When not working on one of her passion projects, Anna loves to spend time with her dogs or attend concerts with her friends and family.
