For eight years, I ran my own small production studio in Los Angeles, CA. I made countless albums and recorded many wonderful projects. I have access to some world class studios and gear here in Chicago and am eager to make some noise with you. Let's make something together.
Just to get this out in the open, here are my rates:
Half Day (4 hours): $350
Full Day (8 hours): $650
Hourly: $100
*What you get out of me: production, recording/tracking, bass guitar, drums, guitars, pianos, synths, and orchestral arrangements!
The music you hear below are songs I've recorded, produced, and mixed at my home studio. If you like what you hear, I can help you record as well- whether that is me creating your song from scratch and playing all the instruments, or adding to a song you've already semi-recorded. Or mixing! I can mix your song too.
In the last few years, I've become very immersed with home recording. It's been a wonderful journey getting to learn how to get the sounds that are in your head out and into the world. Finding weird keyboards and instruments and turning their sounds into songs, old guitar amps no one wants anymore and running old guitars through them- things like that. I'm far from perfect at it, but I'm very proud of where I've landed and would love to help craft your songs from my home studio (or any studio!). Below are songs I've recorded and mixed at home.
“Working with Andrew has helped me grow so much as a songwriter and musician! He has the ability to help take you from a song idea all the way to a completed recording. Andrew really knows song structure and chord progressions and how to build a solid foundation for a song. As a producer, he has an attention to detail and gives excellent feedback to help every song be as true as it can be. He is a multi instrumentalist and offers his talents on a song where possible. He even has helped me grow in my vocal delivery and song performance skills, of which I had major hesitations about. I highly recommend working with Andrew for your next project! ” - Lauren Wilder
“Andrew is an indie musician himself, so he understands exactly what it takes to make a song stand out. In his studio, he produces great-sounding music, offers valuable insights and contributes instrumental parts - he plays a wide range of instruments - whenever needed. Andrew is a musician who understands you.” - Roman Gabriel (Seasonal Falls)
“dating ALL the way back to 2013, I started the process of looking for a studio to record an album. Let's just say that I’m VERY thorough. And as life would have it...11 years later (2024) we found Andrew. In addition to being a ‘skilled’ recording engineer, Andrew ALSO happens to be a very talented producer / arranger / composer, and an ‘accomplished’ artist is his own right, as well. Let me be the first to say it, Andrew is the new generation of Daniel Lanois, Bob Clearmountain, Dave Natale, Butch Vig, Jim Scott, et al. The initial recording session that my wife & I had with Andrew turned out to be miraculous AND a dream come true! EVER SINCE... we’ve continued on that journey & NEVER looked back. we ‘re proud to call Andrew our Captain.” - Pineapple Head & Ganga Shatavari
