ANDREW CHERVAK ( 2012, 2013 & 2014 LVMA WINNER- BEST MUSIC PRODUCER) has been active in the music industry for over 25 years. Andrew is also an accomplished singer, guitar player, and songwriter. He holds a B.A. in Performance Theater from Binghamton University. His studio experience began in the mid 90's when he cut his first serious recording at a studio in Hoboken NJ. Since then he has always been fascinated with how great songs and records are made from recording to mixing to final mastering.

Andrew furthered his knowledge and training under the guidance of his mentor and now close friend Grammy Award winning / Multi Platinum Producer and Engineer Earl Cohen. Through Earl, he learned that there is a true art to mixing a great song.

Andrew incorporates his knowledge, from the technical end of engineering to creating the mood and feel, into every individual piece of music. He never approaches a song the same way, believing that each is a unique piece of art, and that his job is to help the artist find its soul.

“Music has always been a passion of mine. There was always music around me growing up. My Dad was an all-state tenor for his high school in P.A. I remember him playing all types of music on the living room stereo and singing in his church choir when we would go visit my grandmother. “

One of his strongest attributes that he brings to his clients is his depth of musical knowledge and broad appreciation of everything from Classical to Heavy Metal; Country to HipHop; Blues to Rock and Roll. He has produced and mixed songs from every genre of music.

“I listen to all genres of music in order to find that “new sound” for my clients. I try to incorporate different genres into my current projects. My main goal is to give the artist/band that I am working with a unique sound that defines them, not just put out the cookie cutter mix that is the current in thing. One of the greatest things that I learned from my mentor is that you need to learn all the rules so that you can break them properly. I never approach a project the same way. They all have their unique qualities which is one of the reasons I love what I do so much.”

“My studio is located in Phillipsburg , NJ. The building it is in was built in 1890. So needless to say we get some unexpected visitors and strange events happing from time to time. Even though I am based in NJ I work with clients from all over the United States. The internet has opened up many doors for artists to work with producers from all over. One of my next goals is to break into the international music market. “
