“When Esperanza Spalding won the Grammy for Best New Artist, I was basically the second engineer on the album that got her the award. I was assisting the engineer but we worked pretty evenly on the project. He did all the mixing and recording but I did most of the technical work, cleaning up all the pops and clicks and stuff”; Drea Young told the Philadelphia website, EPGN.
