Bio
Andy has pissed off many neighbors with his obsession with music. He also single-handedly got all internet privileges revoked for an entire office at a temp job he worked at briefly because he incessantly streamed various music programs. Starting out as a singer, Andy decided to branch out from the lucrative A Capella market by teaching himself over the years to play the guitar and piano. Since then he has been blending an emotional intensity with a pop sensibility to create a unique form of soulful alternative rock.
His songs have been featured on MTV and radio stations across the country, including hometown station WFUV. Recently, Andy was Featured Artist of the Week on WERS in Boston and will return later in the year for an instudio interview and live performance for their Best of New England week long celebration. Playing alongside some of the craziest jazz (jazz guys are always crazy), funk, and avant-garde musicians in the NYC scene, Andy delivers a searing live performance that spares nothing and leaves behind only a few broken strings and melodies that walk around in your head.
