Henrique Andrade earned his most high-profile credit yet as a Pro Tools engineer on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, working on tracks including “Blackbiird” and “Spaghettii” and serving as an assistant engineer at Westlake Studios. The album swept the 2025 GRAMMY Awards, winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album among its haul, putting Andrade’s name on one of the most decorated records of the decade.

“I love being around people and working with young, up-and-coming artists. Never forget to keep yourself open to learn and capture the beauty.”

That credit builds on a career Andrade shaped session by session. He trained as an audio engineer at Record Plant, where he worked on Colombian songwriter Juanes’ Mis Planes Son Amarte, a two-time Latin GRAMMY winner for Best Pop/Rock Album and Best Engineered Album. The same studio work connected him with Justin Bieber, Zayn Malik and Carly Rae Jepsen, engineering sessions for some of pop’s most recognizable names.

Two decades into his career, Andrade’s name now sits on one of music’s biggest wins, proof that technical skill and trust get built one record at a time.

A History of Alt-Pop: From Cult Followings to Chart Domination

,
For most of the last decade, there has been a particular purgatory reserved for pop artists who were too good to ignore and too strange for radio. Fan communities named it the khia asylum, borrowed from Khia, the early-2000s rapper whose defining single "My Neck, My Back" never translated into sustained commercial recognition. To be stuck there is to have a devoted fanbase, critical praise, and climbing streaming numbers while the radio-play gatekeepers look elsewhere. Escaping it is the moment everything changes.
