— Kyle Pulley —
Kyle Pulley is a producer/engineer and co-owner of Headroom Studios in Philadelphia. He’s worked with such artists as Alex G, Dr. Dog, Hop Along, Cafuné, Mo Lowda and the Humble and Shamir. He was the co-writer/co-producer and bassist in the band Thin Lips and toured the US and Europe with bands like Modern Baseball, Slaughter Beach Dog, The Front Bottoms, and Justin Pierre (of Motion City Soundtrack).

In addition to working with artists, one of his greatest privileges is getting to mentor many younger producers, including those from marginalized backgrounds, along their way to full-time careers in music.

When he’s not working on music, he is helping his wife Yowei Shaw launch her new podcast, PROXY, hiking the trails in Wissahickon Creek Park, or hanging out at his favorite bar around the corner from his house.
