Brad Daymond
Record Producer
Who is Brad Daymond?
Brad Daymond is a Canadian musician, songwriter, producer and remixer also known as "Riprock".
Growing up in Barrie, Ontario, he changed his name in his early twenties to work in the music industry. First known primarily for his membership in the band Love Inc., he put his keyboard and programming skills to use remixing for other artists, having an early success with mixes for edgy electronica band Republica's "Drop Dead Gorgeous", the single version of which went to number seven in the UK.
Daymond soon put his band on the back burner to form Riprock 'n' Alex G Productions with Alex Greggs and focus on behind-the-scenes work on hotter acts. Together, they remixed songs from 'N Sync's multi-platinum debut album, including the hits "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart". Following that success, the duo added production to their remixing duties for 'N Sync's second album, No Strings Attached, and co-wrote two of the album's songs with band member JC Chasez, including the title track. That album sold over 1 million copies its first day of release, and more than 2.4 million by the end of the first week, setting two sales records that have yet to be broken. The following year, they returned to the studio with Chasez to co-produce three songs they had written with him for the band's followup, Celebrity, another multi-platinum smash which, while it didn't break the band's previous record, hit a new second place mark, selling 1.9 million in its first week.
