In addition to Beastie Boys, Ian has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry including amongst others The Pixies, Paul McCartney David Byrne, Brian Eno, Kanye West, Dr.Dre, Jimmy Iovine, and Trent Reznor,
A self-declared obsessive his music knowledge and taste is both wide and very deep, with ‘challenging’ being his go to choice although Joni Mitchell and Sade do creep in to his listening habits as well.
