Andre Wahl doesn\u2019t want it sugar coated. He wants it real, raw and from the heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like selling candy to kids,\u201d he says. It\u2019s an analogy that he uses frequently. It sums up and describes his amazing work ethic.<\/p>\n

Andre is a big-time music producer and one of his favourite places to get some work done is at the Huntsville Train Station. At nighttime, when most of the town is sleeping, it\u2019s quiet down at the station. During the early morning hours, if it\u2019s raining, there\u2019s shelter from the storm thanks to an overhang. But then again, he\u2019s also found some serious inspiration (not to mention solitude) floating down the Muskoka River with his laptop and headphones and nothing but the gentle lapping sound of the lake hitting the sides of his canoe.<\/p>\n

His workplace setting differs greatly from what it did 13 years ago. He came to Huntsville from Vancouver where he often used Brian Adams\u2019 home studio to master recordings. It was out on the west coast that Andre also worked at one of Canada\u2019s most prestigious golf clubs. He\u2019s always had roots here, though. His family has been cottaging in the area since 1975. His father, Harry, who passed away three years ago, was a well-liked, community-minded man who was all about the people.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
