Colin Stewart (born November 1, 1974) is a record producer and audio engineer from Victoria, British Columbia, who has been active recording bands since 1996.[1] His professionalism and his passion for recording made others to call him as one of "Vancouver's top indie-rock engineers".[2]

He owns and operates a studio in Victoria, British Columbia called The Hive Creative Labs, which has established itself as a musical institution of Canada's west coast independent music scene, having hosted and recorded "Black Mountain, Destroyer, Ladyhawk, Frog Eyes, Hot Hot Heat and P:ano, along with virtually every other significant West coast indie act".[3] Colin has also recorded albums by Kathryn Calder, Sleepy Sun band, Yukon Blonde, The Cave Singers, Veda Hille, No Kids, Dan Mangan, Pretty Girls Make Graves and many others.[2]

He is also a founding member of the band Gigi. On 30 September 2013 the recording studio Hive Creative Labs which was a home for a lot of Vancouver acts closed its doors because of Producer Colin Stewart's relocation to Victoria.[4]

He is married to singer-songwriter Kathryn Calder.[5]
