Andrew is a musical man of mystery; the diversity of his influence and talent gives him an unexpected style that's hard to pin down. Andrew writes groove-based acoustic rock with infectious melodies, infused by Motown soul.
As a Sarnia, Ontario teenager, Andrew first cut his teeth playing "Paul" in a popular Beatles cover band. Since then, he has shared the stage with the likes of Andy Kim, Ron Sexsmith, Ron Hawkins, Ed Robertson, Steven Page, Danny Michel, Andy Stochansky and Lukas Rossi.
With significant critical success, Andrew's career is off to a great start:
CP24 named Andrew their "Top Pick" by CP24 for his performance during Canadian Music Week 2009.
Andrew provided a hook for “Small Town” on hip-hop artist D.O.’s 2009
album STAY DRIVEN.
The International Magazine Awards chose his album, JUST THE WAY I FEEL as 2008 R&B Album of the Year.
He was selected as one of the top 18 contestants for Canadian Idol in 2007. Though it might be hard to imagine Andrew as fuel for the idol talent machine, he's had the distinct honour of being the first contestant to play an instrument during a solo performance.
The Toronto Indie Music Awards nominated Andrew for Live Band of the Year in 2006.
In 2010 he’ll be releasing two tracks every second month and releasing a full-length album in the summer. He's currently scheduling tours all over Canada for the New Year.
The first release, JUST THE WAY I FEEL is available from:
