Rob Chiarappa is an award-winning producer, mixer, and songwriter based out of New Jersey.
Rob works out of the world-renowned Barber Shop Studios in Hopatcong, NJ as his home base but has relationships with studios in major cities around the globe to make records happen in most places.
Rob’s objective is to treat each project uniquely and work with artists to reach an end result that best represents their creative vision being as “hands on” or “hands off” as the artist is comfortable with.
