He appeared on the tv show Love Connection in the early 1990s and his episode was featured in many tv shows such as America's Most Wanted in the background, when someone was depicted watching tv!
Andrew was a trained studio musician- which meant, it is not about you, but rather making the other artists sound good. Andrew was a pianist and keyboard player.
Andrew largely focused on EDM and House music as well as mood music for television and film. He had a catalog of over 1,000 songs. Andrew wasn't a singer but in later years did sing- and it was fun to hear!
A few of Andrew’s works can be found on YouTube. Say Sorry and Purgatory are quite poignant and a work of genius on a limited budget. Andrew’s specialty was EDM and mood music for TV and Film.
