Goh Hotoda, 47, is a world-famous mix engineer whose Midas touch has produced many gold and platinum albums, including two Grammy winners. When Madonna conceived of the album "Erotica," she had mixers Shep Pettibone and Hotoda deliver the cut that made it a major hit. The trio's brilliant reconception of her songs on "Immaculate Collection" helped that album shift some 30 million copies. Hotoda mixed her "Vogue" single, too, and his incredible gift for creating master mixes can also be heard on Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation," David Sanborn's "Inside," as well as on albums that sold 12 million units for Hikaru Utada. Hotoda also worked his magic on songs for Ryuichi Sakamoto, Prince, Mariah Carey and Ray Charles, while in private he put a spell on pop star Nokko. The two live in quiet harmony with their greatest achievement and best mix, daughter Kano..
