Career

Born June 2, 1993,[1] Cervini is from Monroe, Connecticut and first gained interest in production and engineering aged 14.[2] At that age he played guitar, produced with Audacity, and recorded songs with local bands in high school.[4]

Later, he attended Drexel University in Philadelphia to study recording and producing.[4] There, he messaged lots of people to try to work with, and eventually met producers Will Putney and Machine who both began to teach him production techniques and introduced him to John Feldmann, for whom he then became an intern and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19.[2][4] He worked as Feldmann's assistant, and in 2015, following a medical emergency for Feldmann, Cervini produced and edited his first album, Disobedient by Stick to Your Guns, proving his talent to Feldmann with whom he went on to co-produce much of his work.[4]

Discography

Cervini has produced, mixed, mastered, and engineered for numerous artists including Bring Me the Horizon, Poppy, Bad Omens, Motionless in White, Architects, Spiritbox, Three Days Grace, and Evanescence.
