Michael Blue (né Waggitt; born 3 March 1966) is an English record producer, songwriter, audio engineer and mixer. He has been credited on releases for pop and alternative rock acts including Colbie Caillat, Jason Reeves, Jason Mraz, Five For Fighting and OneRepublic.[2]

Originally from County Durham, England, Blue moved to Los Angeles in 1992, shortly after which he formed his recording studio, Revolver Recordings in Thousand Oaks, California. Beginning as a recording artist, he signed with A&M Records and opened for artists including Sheryl Crow, Billy Idol and Allman Brothers, throughout the remaining decade. His debut studio album, Gold (2008), became his only release as a vocalist until shifting to work solely in production.[3] Blue has cultivated burgeoning acts such as OneRepublic, Caillat, Augustana, Angel Taylor, Chandler Juliet and Kevin Hammond before their mainstream successes.[4][5]

Blue is represented by Global Positioning Services in Santa Monica, California.[6]
