Composer / Sound Designer / Engineer Andy Snavley, formerly of CB+Co., launches Bendy.
 
Snavley began composing music, sound designing and mixing for advertising in 1995 at the bi-coastal “tomandandy”, having worked in the film sound business prior. In 1997 Andy was given a position at Chris Bell Music and Sound Design (hence since called, CB+Co.) where he composed music and sound design for many clients including: Lexus, Nike, Coke, Toyota, Farmers Insurance, Saturn, and San Jose Mercury News where his efforts earned a Clio award. Snavley also became deeply involved in music and sound design for interactive projects and was instrumental in the launch of the Tonedog division at CB+Co,
 
Says Andy, “Bendy is the company I have always envisioned. It’s a place were creativity is uninhibited and experimentation is a must. In other shops I have seen what has worked, what hasn’t, and combined that with my own vision and technological approach. Launching Bendy has been a natural transition for me, as we usher in a new era of advertising and business, so must we change the way we think about our creative work. This is a great time to be excited about our work and our industry.”
 
Recently Bendy has signed on collaborator Josh Sklair, who is best known for his work with artists such as: Etta James, Sofie B. Hawkins, The Blues Brothers, and others. Sklair recently won a Grammy for an album he co-produced for Etta James called, “Let’s Roll”. Josh has been involved in advertising music as both musician and composer for well over 10 years working for clients: Honda, Porsche, GM, Budweiser, Millers Genuine Draft, Coke, and many more.
 
“When Andy first told me of his vision for a new music company I got really excited, I have known Andy for a long time and we have always done great work together, his genius for music and sound is undeniable. At Bendy I am able to channel my experience, energy and creativity into an open environment of total expression.”
