  • Bio

    Red Carpet Rejects is an American production team based in South Florida consisting of Mike Swittel and Alfredo Cevallos. They officially formed in 2013 but have been working together for more than a decade. Before they joined forces, Mike worked for Desmond Child and Charles Dye as an assistant engineer during the Living La Vida Loca years. During that time he helped record several multi-platinum records. During that same time, Alfredo was composing music for TV commercials, many of which were part of national campaigns for companies such as Chevrolet, Heineken and Discovery Channel. It is that television work that eventually brought them together and over time, led to their songwriting, recording and mixing work landing on a Latin Grammy Award winning album. Since then they have been collaborating regularly which has led to the inception of Red Carpet Rejects. By combining their talents as one team, they uniquely offer Artists (signed and unsigned) a full range of production services including songwriting, production, recording and mixing with the highest standards. Together with their network of collaborators and session players, they also can offer their clients access to all the right tools to make great music. Their commitment to the Artist and the Song is what makes them stand out. The Artist is their focus, the Song is their passion.
