ANDY GARCIA’S Philosophy:

THE SESSION MINDSET: SERVE THE SONG, LEAD WITH GROOVE

At AMG Studio, Andy’s performance philosophy is built on the seamless fusion of technical excellence and heartfelt emotion. Every recording session begins with an immersive exploration of your song’s true character—going beyond notes and rhythms to grasp its unique mood, story, and soul. This depth of understanding ensures every drum part is tailored to elevate the music, creating not only a foundation but a defining element within each track.

With a vast collection of curated drums and cymbals at his disposal, Andy meticulously sculpts a signature sonic palette for every project—delivering a customized sound and feel that inspires artists and producers alike.

A standout example of this artistry came in 2013, when Andy’s work with the Michael Maher Band on the song “Hallelujah” earned Song of the Year honors, surpassing acclaimed acts like MercyMe and Newsboys. This milestone reflects Andy’s rare ability to compose drum performances that don’t just support a record—they transform and define it, setting a gold standard in modern music production.

“Serve the Song. Not the Ego.”

Every take begins with humility. Every groove is built in service of the song—not the drummer. True artistry isn’t about speed or flash; it’s about feel, connection, and emotional truth. The music always comes first.
