[edit] Life and work
Early in his career, Thom Russo experienced sessions with some of the giants in pop and R&B…Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Cher, Babyface and Prince to name a few. Then in 1997 he worked on his first Grammy-winning track, Eric Clapton’s “Change the World,” which won for both Record and Song of the Year. Johnny Cash’s “Man Comes Around” also snagged a Grammy nomination for Thom, while his work with Juanes has secured four awards overall at the Latin Grammys. These days you can never tell where Thom might leave his mark: on a rock supergroup (Audioslave), on a soundtrack for the biggest movie ever (Sum 41’s cut on “Spider-Man”) or on a bona fide pop music AND pop culture phenomenon (Jay-Z’s “99 Problems”).
