Michael Phillip Wojewoda (pronounced "Voyavoda") is a Juno Award-winning Canadian record producer known for frequently collaborating with Barenaked Ladies.
Wojewoda's career began in 1977, when he started recording bands in the basement of his mother's beauty salon. One of his first credits of note was co-producing the 1985 album To Sir With Hate by Toronto-based all-female post-punk band Fifth Column.
Wojewoda went on to produce albums by many Canadian alternative acts (including Shuffle Demons, Change of Heart, Doughboys, and Jane Sibbery) before he was asked to produce BNL's first full-length album Gordon. At the time, he was producing the Rheostatics album Whale Music, and he invited BNL into the studio to record backing vocals on the song "California Dreamline". After making Gordon in 1992, Wojewoda has collaborated many times with BNL and several of the members' side projects as a producer, engineer, and mixer.
