About Andrew Scheps
University of Miami Frost School of Music alumnus Andrew Scheps has engineered and mixed for some of the biggest rock bands in the world: Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Audioslave, Linkin Park, Green Day and U2. He's also worked with icons such as Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond and Iggy Pop, as well as indie artists such as Manu Chao, Duke Spirit, Cass McCombs and Blood Red Shoes.
Andrew started as a musician, but found that what he enjoyed most was working behind the scenes. This led him to study recording at the University of Miami. After graduating, he spent some time working for New England Digital, maker of the Synclavier, and then on the road with Stevie Wonder (as a keyboard tech) and Michael Jackson (mixing live sound). But he found his home in the studio, and he honed his craft working for producers such as Rob Cavallo, Don Was and Rick Rubin.
