Gregory King (born 1966) is a Canadian sound designer. He is best known for his involvement in the sound design of The Road to El Dorado (2000) and The Insider (2001), among others.[1]
Gregory King was born in 1966 in Montreal, Quebec.[2] King's first professional job in sound design came in 1986, when he was hired by film sound editors Nolan Roberts and Alban Streeter.[3] The beginning of his career was largely focused on sound design within the television industry and work as playing a musician in Toronto. During the late 1980s, he worked in sound design at Filmhouse, a studio now known as Deluxe Lab,[4] and in 1991 formed the feature film sound editorial firm Sound Dogs with partner Nelson Ferreira.[5]
In 1994, he moved to Los Angeles, forming Sound Dogs US in 1995 with fellow sound designers Robert Grieve and Robert Nokes,[5] and launching an online sound effects archive in May 1997 called Sounddogs.com.[4] According to editorsguild.com, King had significant artistic freedom when working at the film. He collaborated with directors Michael Mann.[4] and Peter Berg.[6][7]
In the late 2000s, King formed a sound design firm called The Dawgs Sound Design, which later became King SoundWorks. As of 2001, he worked as a supervising sound designer.[8]
