The Experience to Craft Your Image

John Burr
John Burr has more than 25 years of experience in technical engineering, performance, and professional training. He has written and produced hundreds of scripts in all media, and has directed well-known national performers Alexander Scourby, Fritz Weaver, William Conrad and Lary Lewman, among others.

His more than two decades of experience as a recording engineer have led to a thorough understanding of studio design and operation.

John received his musical training at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, baccalaureate education at the University of Maine, and post-graduate composition training at The American University in Washington, DC. As an assistant conductor of the U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants and musical director for the American Educational Theater Association and USO, he toured abroad and nationally before starting a recording industry career and John Burr Productions.

Neil Samuels
With an eclectic performing and engineering background first in rock and jazz in New York, then to R&B in Philadelphia, Neil Samuels has consistently scored with performers and critics alike, working with diverse talents such as Chubby Checker, The Flamingos, Joey Dee and the Starlighters, The Fascinators, Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose, Stephen Stills, Monardo Meco, and Billy Joel.

With credits on albums totaling in the hundreds, both as instrumentalist and engineer, he trained at two top international schools - Art Institute International and Full Sail Center for the Media Arts, working in a wide range of audio and video production venues.

At the request of several prominent theater directors in Philadelphia, he served as their technical director and sound engineer for several years before returning to the studio. His work in the theater helped develop his skills in audio and video production, which he has brought with him to the Washington area and to John Burr Productions.
