First 10 of his musician years were dedicated to drums. He played in a couple of well-known bands in the CIS, and crossed Russia, Ukraine and Belorussia, as well as the Eastern and the Western Europe on his tours. He recorded a few big releases with his bands, and helped a lot of friends to record their own stuff.
For the past 10 years Andrew has been writing songs, but never showed them to the crowd. And 2 years ago a big life changes made him look at his future from another angle.
All these years he thought that his vocal was far from great. That’s why he was a little bit shy to record his own music. A year ago he recorded a debut single, called “Falling Down Blues”, as an exeperiment, and shot a video for it.
The feedback was really unexpected, and the local crowd in Ukraine and Russia loved the song. That was the inspiration to start a giant work to make his biggest dream become a reality.
August 20, 2013 – the day when the first single from an upcoming album was released. It’s called “Whiskey & Rain”, and the video for it is in rotation now on the one and only TV-Channel for rock music in the CIS (A-ONE TV).
September 20, 2013 – the day, when Andrew’s debut album “Free Man” came out.
Starting from October, 2013 Andrew will be touring all over Ukraine, Russia and Belorussia. And now he is also in the middle of the booking process for his first big Euro-tour (Spring 2014).
Although the album is recorded with full band, Andrew will be playing shows only with his guitar player. So it’s a 2-piece band right now.
Andrew – kick, acoustic guitar, vocals
Sergei – guitar, backing vocals
They are doing live shows with interesting arrangement for 2 guys, so it helps to create a unique sound and play gigs in places that are not commonly used for live music shows (bars, café-shops etc.)
