Nancy Conforti is a Grammy-nominated audio engineer based in New York. Every time she enters the studio, Nancy not only brings her classical and academic background, but also a wealth of knowledge in different genres that stems from her own diverse taste. She is consistently inspired by Frank Ocean’s intentional production, Alex G’s versatility, and Mitski’s brutally honest lyricism. No matter how much work she puts into her career, Nancy’s enthusiasm for live music and her favorite musicians has never diminished. As a lifelong music maker and listener, she hopes that her work with smaller artists and labels helps to elevate their work and bring their songs to the fans who need them most. Nancy adds clarity and smoothness to every piece she touches and maintains a commitment to good music that sounds good. 

After she immersed herself in the music programs of her high school in Baldwin, New York, Nancy attended the Hartt School at the University of Hartford and received a Bachelor of Music in Music Production and Technology in 2017.

Nancy also spent the summer of 2018 as a recording engineer at the Interlochen Arts Camp, reaffirming her support for young musicians. In 2019, she received a Master of Music from McGill University in Sound Recording. She then worked as a recording engineer at Aspen Music Festival in Colorado and Yale University’s School of Music.
