John Leckie is one of British music's most prolific record producers, having worked on such high-profile albums as The Bends by Radiohead, Origin of Symmetry by Muse, George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, the eponymous debut album of The Stone Roses and The Verve's A Storm in Heaven.

Leckie began his career at Abbey Road Studios as an in-house engineer. During this time he worked with Pink Floyd, all of the Beatles individually as well as many other musicians. Eventually he left and became a freelance producer.
