Career

Gregory King was born in 1966 in Montreal, Quebec.[1] King's first professional job in sound design came in 1986, when he was hired by seasoned film sound editors Nolan Roberts and Alban Streeter.[2] The beginning of his career largely focused on sound design within the television industry and playing in bands as a musician in Toronto. During the late 1980s, he worked in sound design at Filmhouse, a studio now known as Deluxe Lab, and in 1991 formed the feature film sound editorial firm Sound Dogs with partner Nelson Ferreira.[3]

In 1994,

he moved to Los Angeles, forming Sound Dogs US in 1995 with fellow sound designers Robert Grieve and Robert Nokes and launching a large online sound effects archive in May 1997 called Sounddogs.com.[4] The Insider was nominated for an Oscar for Best Sound in 1999. King's work on the film involved a great amount of artistic freedom, as he worked with director Michael Mann. Other directors King has worked with include Peter Berg,[5] [6]

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.[7]
