Life and career

He became renowned for his mixing work for Stiff Records, which paved the way for his first co-produced hit, Lene Lovich’s “Lucky Number”. He is widely credited[by whom?] for moulding the sound of some of that period’s finest hitmakers including Elvis Costello, The Undertones, and Squeeze.

Building on his early successes Béchirian spent his time working between the UK and the USA developing and producing new and established artists for major and independent label releases. By the beginning of the new millennium he added management to his skill set. He discovered and developed Tom McRae signing him to db/BMG/Arista records, whose emergence led to a Q Award and nominations for a Mercury Prize Award, and a Brit Award. At the same time he managed Irish four-piece Bell X1, signing them to Island/Universal in London, garnering four Choice Music Prize Irish Album of the Year nominations and producing their breakthrough multi-platinum album Flock.
