In 1960, Britz went to work at Western Recorders and began engineering numerous rock n' roll records. Britz met Brian Wilson when the Beach Boys were cutting demos at Western Recorders.[2] Influential in Wilson's development as a musician, he would go on to record and mix most of the their hit records between 1963 and 1967.[2][3][4] He also recorded music for TV and movies. Britz died of brain cancer in 2000.[4][5]
