“AS A FULL-TIME RECORD PRODUCER, I’m always looking for studio musicians who, before entering my studio walls leave their ego at the door, bring with them an exceptional knowledge of popular styles of music, a vast array of sounds on a variety of instruments, are both delightful as a companion and hard working as a co-laborer, enter any session with a deep wealth of ideas without being easily troubled by suggestions or even stepping outside of their own comfort zones. It is a real bonus when they happen to be a songwriter in their own right, because they prioritize the importance of the singer and the lyric above their own recorded parts.
Any time I've had the good fortune to bring André Rodriguez in on a session, the entirety of the session and the songs are greatly benefited as he embodies every attribute described above.”
