Andres Mesa on SoundBetter

Experienced music producer and mix engineer specialising in stereo and spatial audio.

Having worked with internationally acclaimed artists such as David Gilmour, Paris Paloma, Flyte, Seafret, Kanye West, Jay Z, and Annie Lennox amongst many others, I have the experience and ears to help you achieve your dreams with your music.

Hi, my name is Andres Mesa a Colombian producer, sound engineer and multi-instrumentalist working from top recording studios between the UK, Colombia and Greece. I currently mix in Dolby-certified studios such as The Crypt, Metropolis Studios, Clap Studios, and the Dolby Studios in London.

The tracks I have worked on have reached millions of Spotify and Apple Music streams with clients including David Gilmour, Paris Paloma, Vraell, Seafret, Leisure, Irene Skylakaki, Ada Athanasopolou, Bad Sounds, Flyte, Rhodes, Banners, Seamus Kearney, Night Tapes, Boy Bleach, Himalayas, Ider, Stefan Dando, Mario Cassado, Oliver Anderson, and Matt Maltese.

My working style is honest, patient, and solely driven by creativity. I have a PhD in Sonic Creativity with research on creativity enhancement in music production. So when I am mixing or producing, my philosophy is driven by proactive ways to make the best possible sounding record in collaborative relationships with the artists.

I have also mixed over 20 albums in Dolby Atmos, and I am very passionate about this type of format.

Andres did some wonderful remixes of some of my original piano compositions, with Dolby Atmos versions too. He is such a delight to work with and he gives 100% of his time and energy. Nothing seems impossible for Andres. I admire his enthusiasm and expertise and would have no hesitation in recommending him. I look forward to future collaboration with Andres!

I've worked with Andres creating music for two of my short films. The last song we made for my most recent short film was a wonderful collaboration . I had an inspiration for a song, he made the music and organized all the production, I wrote the lyrics. It was easy to work together and the song came out better than I had imagined. I recommend 100 percent working with him. His knowledge of music and instruments makes everything flow. He is also open minded and really listens to his client.

Not only a great professional, but also an interesting, driven, open minded person who really pushes the singer to the next level. What more can I say? Working with Andres is an entirely rewarding learning experience! 💙🎶 Love making music with him!
by Stefan Dando
Andres and I worked together on 13 songs over a two year span that as of the time of writing, are still being released. He is a pleasure to work with, having amazing ideas of his own to bring to a project while also being open and accepting of your own ideas in bringing your vision to life. Friendly, professional and ultimately you end up with an amazing product at the end. Can’t recommend Andre enough.
