Mike Nicoletti
Sales and Support Coordinator
Mike was born too many years ago to admit in a small town called New York City. He received a degree in Political Science from NYU and completed a year at Fordham Law School before taking a year’s leave of absence to attend the Institute of Audio Research to be trained in his true passions: audio engineering, mastering, and early digital technology. Before completing that course, Mike was hired by Unique Recording Studios, where he cut his engineering teeth and assisted or engineered on sessions of clients as diverse as Billy Ocean, Melba Moore, Edgar Winter (for which he got credit for backing vocals), Motley Crue, James Brown, The Force MDs, Afrikka Bambaataa and Stevie Nicks.
After Unique, Mike went on to engineer at other studios in NYC until he was hired as the R&D Recording Engineer in 1987 for Yamaha’s new R&D facility on West 57th Street where he and other staff received product feedback and ideas from customers, tested new products and software and held recording sessions for select clients. Yamaha’s recording studio was a favorite location for CNN’s Science and Technology segments which Mike appeared on a number of times. Mike relocated to sunny Southern California in 1991 to handle sales and support for Yamaha’s new Pro Digital Department, handling the latest Yamaha digital mixers and recorders.
Mike has also been the tech support manager at Apogee Electronics and Alesis and returned to Yamaha to manage tech support and service for Commercial Audio. He joined Lynx Studio Technology in 2008 as the Sales & Support Coordinator, assisting the sales and support departments with day to day activities as well as helping engineering with driver and firmware testing.
Mike still enjoys some engineering in his spare time as well as songwriting and playing in his band Underhanded.
He still has not told Fordham that he is not returning.
