Andrew Nast

Producer &
Head Engineer

Producer/Engineer Andrew Nast brings an energetic professionalism to every project he works on. Working in he LA industry for just over a decade, Andrew’s multi-genre love of music and the artists who make it have certainly earned him his fair share of multi-paltinums. But you won’t find Andrew resting on those accomplishments. In addition to the national and label artists he works with, Andrew is also dedicated to helping up and coming artists find and preserve their original voice. As a multifacedted musician himself, Andrew’s combined skillsets and talents afford him that rare ability to communicate with musicians on that ellusive common level, and the result of that mix speaks for itself.

Haylar Garcia

Studio Owner & Engineer/Producer

Studio owner and Engineer/Producer Haylar Garcia has been recording bands in Denver since 1990, and although Andrew Nast is the head cat here at The Decibel Garden, you will often find Haylar sitting on sessions as a producer, second engineer or studio musician when asked. Haylar started many years ago as local Denver and touring musician and is always inclined to be part of our native music scene as it continues to evolve. He conceived and built The Decibel Garden to be a sanctuary for veteran and new musicians alike, fertile ground for our awesome Denver talent.
