Having famous forefathers can only get you so far. Hence Joey Waronker, son of legendary record producer and executive Lenny Waronker, decided to succeed on his own terms.
Joey's grandfather was professional violinist Simon Waronker, who in the 1950s founded Liberty Records, which counted Eddie Cochran, Bobby Vee and Johnny Burnette among its artists.
Joey's father, Lenny Waronker, made his mark as an executive at the Warner Bros label and as a producer of works by Randy Newman, Rod Stewart and James Taylon among other artists. Joey's mother meanwhile, recorded some pop tunes under the name Donna Loren, and appeared in beach party movies in the '60s.
