Meet Oli Jacobs and Laura Sisk, whose wedding Taylor Swift just attended
The Grammy-winning recording engineers are behind T-Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department album, and have worked with artists like Jack Antonoff and The 1975
So, who exactly are the recording engineer couple who have produced and mixed some of our favourite tunes, and how do they know Taylor Swift? Here’s what we know.
Who is Laura Sisk?
Laura Sisk is a freelance recording engineer who has worked with many music stars. She told Vice in an interview that she has played the piano, clarinet and oboe since she was young, and attended the Marin School of the Arts in California. While helping her friends record audition tapes for summer programmes, she learned to use her school’s Roland recording system and realised she enjoyed recording music more than performing it. She then studied at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.
She quickly made her way in the industry, and ended up working with Antonoff on his first album with his band Bleachers, Strange Desire. “She’s the best engineer I ever worked with,” Antonoff said on the Tape Notes podcast. Sisk has also engineered for other Antonoff collaborators including Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, Lorde and The 1975. She has won seven Grammys for her work.
