Drew Mantia

Drew Mantia is a multi-faceted Midwestern producer, mixer, songwriter, and singer specializing in Pop, Hip Hop, R&B and Orchestral for artists, TV shows and advertising. Beginning as a St. Louis based Pop singer/songwriter, Drew has transformed through new phases in new cities. A move to Kansas City sparked a new interest in Hip Hop production after interning with the engineer for Tech N9ne’s Strange Music record label. Time in KC also saw collaboration with Modern Dance choreographers and "Deliberation" became a surprise hit on YouTube. Drew relocated to Chicago in 2012, quickly becoming the go-to producer and engineer for rappers ProbCause & The Palmer Squares, leading to more collaboration within the Chicago Hip Hop scene with artists like Chance the Rapper ("LSD" with ProbCause) and Saba ("Down", "MIA"). In 2016, Drew made his return to being a singer/songwriter forming a Pop duo, The Belief Cycle, with longtime friend Ryan Marquez. After relocating back to St. Louis in 2019 and releasing a debut TBC album in 2020, Mantia along with Marquez would sign a sync publishing deal leading to placements on TV networks like The CW, MTV, VH1, BET, E! And more. In 2022, “Nasty” produced for R&B vocalist Joshua Showtime Williams became a viral hit via TikTok, attracting over 1,000,000 views for the artist’s first ever music video and millions more streams. As of 2023, Drew is working with exciting talent out of the Midwest while connecting deeper with the larger industry out West.
