Andrew Hunt
Record Producer - Songwriter - Mix Engineer - Recording Engineer - Musician
Hello! Thanks for the interest.
I love music. In fact moreso, I love recorded music.
I love ‘records’!
I see recorded music as ‘art’ and I love it passionately.
I have a deep respect for creating it and always set the bar as high as I can for quality.
I’ve written in more depth about how I work here.
If you’d like to work with me, get in touch and we can start the conversation.

“Andrew is a very unique producer. I’ve never met anyone in this business who has the same depth of commitment and respect for the music as Andrew. He will go above and beyond to get the right sound, the right groove, the right feeling in music and is extremely clever in recording, writing as well as producing.
Working with him is working with very high quality standards as well as being pushed to deliver your best and to be brave in creating something new. ”

Ida Kudo running through some piano parts with the great Jonathon Holder (aka King Wizard). Ida's a great pianist but Jonathon ALWAYS adds an extra touch of magic.
The original 'Hot Mangos'. A name Jonathon's female backing vocalists called themselves. I recorded the four females around one mic and the four males separately. (Photo: Grace Barrett)
Kung Fu or Thai Chi? On location recording in a church with the API Box.
“Andrew always goes the extra mile and beyond, putting the heart of the song and of the artist front and centre. With an encyclopaedic knowledge of music, fine sensitivity to feel and groove, and a mastery of sonics, his unique ear, taste and attention to detail is able to take every record he works on to the highest level possible.”

Me, setting up ribbon room mics, I would guess for piano.

Me hosting the BEST BBC Introducing panel. Catherine Marks, Steph Marziano, Clive Langer, Fraser T Smith & Jake Gosling!
“Working with Andrew was a great experience. He takes time to understand the artistic vision in its entirety, has an incredible ear and ensures that every detail sits the way it should.”
Ninja (the Go! Team) and Eckoes joined up for me to do some backing vocals. Wonderfully shouty!

Recording a single snare, or using it as a table? I'm not sure here?! (Photo: Ida Kudo)
Pedal collection. Actually, I've changed a few of those now.
Everything, including the kitchen sink! Belinda Webb cooking on drums!
A moment I'll never forget, winning an MPG Award!
My birthday I think? With Jonathon Holder, artists Taati, Oriana and the Fuzz Skyler guys.

A VERY young me in one of my early performances!
“Andrew is a musician’s producer. A multi-instrumentalist who delves deep into an artist’s story to give them a caring and aligned production.
Passionate about music and production he has brought the work of a varied collective of artists to life, along with success amongst his peers.
He’s someone who really cares about your project during and beyond the recording and mixing. Plenty of good anecdotes too. :)”

Where it all started! A VERY young me. (Photo: My dad probably?)
My great friend, guitarist Craig Davies always calls this my 'Eric Clapton' photo. Which always makes me laugh.
Always my favourite microphone!
SM7! Always a (genuinely) favourite mic for a certain type of vocals. I honestly can't remember what I was singing here or who for.
Me, Sean Genockey (Roger Daltrey, Orla Gartland) and John Leckie (who hasn't he worked with!!? Legend.) Can you believe this was 11pm!! Summer in Inverness.
The best amp isn't always the biggest. This TINY plastic amp was GREAT for one Fuzz Skyler intro!
At the Srongrooms with Dave Eringa (Manics, Roger Daltrey), Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest) & just peeking into shot, mastering engineer Mandy Parnell!
“Andrew is musically very versatile. He will go to great lengths to get the required results, with often unconventional methods. Due to his musical background, he really understands the needs of the artist and can affect the recording from the songwriting to the final master.”

“Andrew’s extensive experience in music production is enhanced by his considerable creative talents as a commercial songwriter. Along with his advanced project management skills, he has guided the careers of many recordings artists over several years.”
I can't remember if we were working on lyrics or listening back to demo's but something made Ida Kudo laugh here!
