Combining his expertise, networking skills, and state-of-the-art recording studio setup, Andres can provide artists with a one-stop-shop to create original productions, track vocals and other instruments and turn their compositions into world-class productions in a close and intimate environment. He is also well acquainted with some of the best studios in London which he uses as satellite hubs for larger ensembles or bands. Andres truly believes in supporting independent and up-and-coming artists. His main passion is to build the careers of emerging artists where he sees potential to help them grow and develop their music projects.
