Andy Zax Biography

Andy Zax is one of the most popular and richest Record Producer who was born on October 16, 1965 in Los Angeles, California, United States. As an owner of boxed sets and archive music reissues Zax is in charge of restoring and mastering catalogs that include Talking Heads, Rod Stewart, Echo & The Bunnymen, Television, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Charles Wright and And The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, The Sisters Of Mercy, David Axelrod and Lee Hazlewood and many more. The reissues of classics like television’s Marquee Moon, John Cale’s Paris 1919, Judee Sill and Heart Food by Judee Sill have been able to bring these albums to a wider audience which were not available at the time of their first release. Likewise, his research into record companies’ tape vaults has revealed treasures like the lost masters for Johnny Mathis’ 1981 album, Chic produced by I Love My Lady. The way he approaches musical historical records, Zax has said:

In late 2005 Zax went to the Warner Brothers tape storage space in Los Angeles and encountered dozens of eight-track one-inch recordings of The Woodstock Festival. “From the moment I saw those tapes” Zax declared, “I was like, ‘Oh my God, there’s so much more than I’d ever thought'”, Zax said. “It was clear to me that no one was exploring this stuff and dealing with it in totality. Here was this vast trove of material not treated correctly.”

On January 19, 2008, he married actress Lisa Jane Persky in Beverly Hills.

As a result of his experiences working with unique master recordings, Zax has become a passionate advocate on behalf of their preservation and restoration in the wake of archival disasters such as the 2008 Universal Studios fire. “You don’t have to be Walter Benjamin to understand that there’s a big difference between a painting and a photograph of that painting,” he has said. “It’s exactly the same with sound recordings…The future of all of the recorded music that we have ever heard — and, for that matter, all of the recorded music that we haven’t heard yet — depends on our ability to maintain these artifacts.”

Zax was a regular participant on live stages of the version in What’s My Line? on stage in Los Angeles and New York City between 2004 and the year 2008; Los Angeles deemed his performances “fabulous. “.

“I like lost causes and I like underdogs and I like people that I feel haven’t gotten their due…You know, some records just weren’t of their moment. Judee Sill’s records, maybe they weren’t built for 1971, ’72. They do feel like they were built for 2007, 2008. That’s when I noticed people were starting to really respond to them and now she feels canonical. And that thrills me. I often feel like the best moments are when you’re sitting in the studio, you put the multi-track tape on, and you don’t know what you’re gonna hear. You kind of feel like you’ve broken into the tomb and suddenly here are the answers to all of these questions. You hear it, and then have a karmic obligation to present it to the public, properly and correctly. To me, you get the reward then. All of the work that comes after is just the price you pay for getting that upfront.”
