Heavy Duty CD Daniel Nigro is a huge part of Olivia Rodrigo’s new documentary “Driving Home 2 U” on Disney+. The film features footage of the two recording at Dan’s studio, sharing much of the creative process behind the multiple-records-breaking album SOUR, which Dan co-wrote and produced. Dan is up for multiple Grammys at this weekend’s award show including the trifecta of Album, Record and Song of the Year!
Congrats to Square, Even/Odd, and director Red Gaskell on your Addy win for “Dear Dad”! Thank you for trusting Heavy Duty to score Peter’s story. Original score by our own Amanda Yamate.

A true honor to get weird with FX Networks, Donald Glover and the Atlanta team for this far-out Season 3 teaser. We created a Dutch Language cover of Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean”. Re-record and Music Supervision by Heavy Duty.
We’d like to say we love all music briefs equally, but this K-pop inspired assignment for SkinnyPop was extra special! It even comes with a companion Karaoke version. Original music + final mix by Heavy duty.
Honored to put a spin on the classic Starship tune “We Built This City” celebrating Minecraft’s epic achievement of 1 TRILLION YouTube views. Heavy Duty created the custom cover, including working with talent across the globe to record the voices of several real Minecraft Avatars, and providing final mix.
Stupid Stoked to have landed our remix of NVDES’ “Stupid Dope” in this F9 trailer.
Our recent work for this global Wrangler campaign showcases what we do best at Heavy Duty, working with a client to explore many directions, to yield the best musical outcome for a company. Initially hired as music supervisors, we explored dusty gems versus commissioning something custom by a contemporary artist. Eventually we landed on the deep cut “I Want To Be Free” by the Sparkles (1967). After finding the song and negotiating the rights on behalf of our client, we gave the track a remix treatment for Wrangler’s 2021 audience.
