Career

Meany has continued to work on various projects outside of Mutemath, producing tracks for Forenn and KiND, as well as the debut EP of bandmate Jonathan Allen. Meany was the featured vocalist on Steve Angello single "Breaking Kind" released on August 4, 2017 as well as Seven Lions and Jason Ross' single "Higher Love" released on January 13, 2017.

After Mutemath and Warner Bros. Records parted ways in 2015 and the dissolution of the Teleprompt partnership, Meany launched his own independent label Wojtek Records based in New York. Mutemath's fourth & fifth full length albums and remix project were all released via Wojtek in partnership with Caroline Records.

He was one of the co-founders of the independent label Teleprompt Records that has since been dissolved. Prior to forming Mutemath with drummer Darren King, Meany was the keyboardist and backing vocalist for the band Earthsuit and provided the same for the beginning stages of another Adam LaClave-fronted band, Macrosick. Meany has also co-produced tracks for Jeremy Larson and another Earthsuit spin-off, Club of the Sons.

In 2003, Meany collaborated on an LP entitled, "Elevator Music," released by Victory Fellowship Church prior to Hurricane Katrina, and was later used as a fund-raising initiative to support victims. The album, comprising fifteen contemporary worship tracks, was recorded live at Victory Fellowship Church, with Meany providing lead vocals.[2]

Meany assisted in producing the fifth Twenty One Pilots album, Trench, released on October 5, 2018.[3][4] Meany previously worked with them to "reimagine" and produce the TOPxMM EP released on December 19, 2016, that included four remixes off of their Blurryface album and "Heathens", as well as a live 20-minute video of the bands performing it together in the studio. Meany also produced "Creature", the closing track off of Half Alive's debut album Now, Not Yet released on August 9, 2019.[5]

gollark: Do you mean "video files", or just really dislike, say, mkvs?
gollark: You are an *utter* octachoron.
gollark: You complete triskaidecagon.
gollark: Maybe this survey was asking something like "which of these worry you", and you could select multiple, and some dodecahedron just added them up like that somehow.
