Andy Chase is a New York-based musician and producer. He is best known as a member of the band Ivy, and has co-produced and co-written all of the music on Ivy's five critically acclaimed albums, as well as Ivy's score for the Farrelly Brothers movie "Shallow Hal", and Ivy's song I'll Be Near You for the film "Bee Season" (Richard Gere, Juliette Binoche). Ivy’s music has appeared in over 100 TV shows and films worldwide and the band remains today one of the most licensed indie pop groups in the country. Brookville is Chase’s other, most recent band. Under the moniker Brookville Chase – singing lead vocals - has recorded two albums and toured the world extensively. As a producer, Chase has enjoyed huge success with the French pop group Tahiti 80, whose debut album Puzzle was a critical and commercial hit around the world, particularly in Japan, where it went gold. This success in Asia led to numerous subsequent production and songwriting offers for Chase, including work with Japanese megastar Chara and several other artists, all of whom recorded songs that Chase had specifically written and produced for them. Chase also co-owned Stratosphere Sound recording studio in NYC with former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and Ivy band mate (also in Fountains Of Wayne) Adam Schlesinger. Stratosphere quickly became one of the premier “go to” studios in NYC, attracting bands like Depeche Mode, REM, Ryan Adams, Kanye West, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
