Neil Godbole, a Bay Area Native, grew up surrounded by music.  He began playing at a young age, and discovered his passion for the recording process after seeing how his father composed, arranged, and produced his own records in the 80’s and 90’s.  

Neil holds a B.S in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he specialized in Psychoacoustics and Object Perception.  After a decade in tech (Google, Raytheon, Amazon) and finance (Calypso, Opulent Lite), Neil switched gears and took over engineering and production work at the world famous Studio D at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco from 2009 to 2011.    

In 2011, Neil was named successor to the long enduring Bayview Studios in the East Bay.  After renovations and updates were complete, the studio reopened in mid-2011 as Airship Laboratories.

At Airship Laboratories, Neil brings his interdisciplinary experience and background to production and engineering.  Neil has collaborated with producers, songwriters, film directors, dance companies, and many musicians.  He has worked with artists such as Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, Larry Coryell, George Brooks, Alam Khan, Jim Santi Owen, Salar Nader, Oz Ezzeldin, Selva Ganesh, The Alonzo King LINES Ballet, The Chitresh Das Dance Company, Farah Yasmeen Shaikh, Midi Matilda, Cosmic Machine, The Greening, and many others.
