Humble, yet with a wealth of experience in the industry Andrew is a seasoned performer. Opening for mega stars like Mariah Carey (Etihad Stadium 2013) Boys II men (2012) and for Shaggy –during his National tour (2015).

Andrew’s versatility has recently seen him play the lead role in the hit production “Let’s Get It On” (The Life & Music Of Marvin Gaye) –Andrew seems to have done it all & his live shows are not to be missed.
Hearing Andrew sing moves the spirit & leaves you in awe. We all had a chance to witness this when he sang Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” on his Australia’s Got Talent audition, blowing the judges away with the very first note.
Brian also predicted right then & there that Andrew would win the show. Well... he was right. Andrew took out the winning title which many also believed he would.
Andrew is what we call the “all rounder” – Musician/Singer/Writer/Producer. Not satisfied with only the stage, Andrew is a master in the studio, making hit music & collaborating with other well known artists . His talents have taken him behind the scenes, as part of production on major TV Shows such as X Factor and most recently the Australian Film –Terminus (2016).
Andrew is constantly creating. His original music resonates spiritual and creative flair that showcases his voice & production/mixing skills. His sound stems from his in depth understanding of song writing and what it is to be current. Auspop’s recent review of his latest single, “Rocket Science”,
“Here’s one of Australia’s best talents”
“It’s a deliciously lithe soul number, helmed by Andrew’s superb vocal that taps the falsetto in his bag of tricks and the layering of the vocals is pretty sublime.”
