about me

Hi, I’m Andy Down.

With nearly 30 years of experience in recording studios, I bring a deep understanding of sound, music production, and studio engineering to every project. Over the years, I’ve worked as a sound engineer and producer on numerous top-charting hits across a wide range of genres.

For 10 years, I served as Front of House engineer for a global superstar, ensuring world-class live sound for thousands of fans at concerts around the globe.

Although I’ve been part of many high-profile productions, I’ve always preferred to stay behind the scenes — letting the music speak for itself.
In addition to working the console, I’ve also spent years managing the business side of running a professional recording studio.

Let’s Connect
I believe the connection between producer and artist is key to creating great music. That’s why every new project starts with a free trial day. We’ll take time to get to know each other, test the workflow, and see if we’re a good match.

If the vibe is right, the music will be too.
Let’s create something great together.
