Huberty from front “My passion for music started as a kid,” Huberty said. “I used to walk around wearing headphones and listening to every part of a song – from the words to the guitars, drums or piano that accompanied it.” A multiinstrumentalist, singer and songwriter, Huberty has amassed musical success in several forms. He toured the Midwest with the former Greg Michaels Band, garnered radio play, wrote songs in Nashville and provided direct support to national acts such as Jamey Johnson, Colt Ford, Emerson Drive and Little Texas. The merits of his musical endeavors continued when a clip from a song he co-wrote was played during the national CMA Awards in Nashville in 2019. Today, Huberty is also the man behind some songs that have rendered success in the lives of other artists. He has been a music producer and audio engineer for six years as owner of Greg Michael Huberty Productions. His boutique-style production studio,
located in his Sauk Rapids home, is teeming with Nashville-quality microphones, amps and other studio equipment. “I love working with the artists when they come in the studio, getting to know them and where they want their song to go,” said Huberty, who plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, piano and mandolin. “I put my heart into turning their vision into an impactful song.” Huberty has worked with 20 musical artists and produced 16 singles, four albums and two EPs. He is currently producing a full album, an EP and multiple radio singles. “I either play on their records or add the talents of other studio musicians from Minnesota, Nashville, the nation or elsewhere the world,” Huberty said. Huberty’s dual roles as a producer and an audio engineer are distinct in that producers take on more of a leadership, managerial and creative role of an audio project while audio engineers operate on the technical

Huberty won a Midwest Country Music Organization award for Studio Engineer of the Year Feb. 20 in Medina. side, recording instruments, vocals and other elements of a song and then mixing them to radio-quality sound. “I enjoy both roles,” he said. “I love the process of creating a sound for an artist and just being part of their career, helping them
succeed.” Another honor for Huberty at this year’s award show was one of his youngest artists, Hailey James, winning Song of the Year for a song he produced as well as New Artist of the Year. “It was a very proud
moment because she started working with me at just 14 years old,” Huberty said. “Today, at just 18, she is attracting the attention of big stars like Dustin Lynch. She has amassed over 200,000 followers on her social media channels and 40,000
streams of her songs.” After a years-long hiatus from recording his own music, Huberty returned to the mic earlier this year and released his new single “Gettin’ to Gettin’ There” Feb. 25. Last year, Huberty delved into the world of music video production and has since produced three music videos, including one for James’ award-winning song “Wide Awake.” Aside from country music, Huberty has produced and engineered for rock, folk, Christian, pop, R&B and hip-hop artists. He recently produced a hick-hop tune, a combination of country and rap, featuring an artist from Maryland. Huberty’s career has come full circle. Since he was a freshman in college, he dreamed of producing music. After years of being a performer in the industry and learning the craft of music production, that dream has nally come true. “I always knew I wanted a career in music,” he said. “I’m glad it followed this route.”
