“Making it in this industry is like an astronaut going to the moon, rare,” he says. “I feel really lucky and blessed.” Andy is not confined to one passion however. He loves playing basketball. He played on the varsity team in high school and now has an app on his phone allowing him to locate courts near wherever he is so he can take some time to play. He says he loves stand-up comedy and all art too. Being well rounded is an important aspect of touring life. Currently, Andy is attempting to write while touring, though he notes that it is slow going. “I’m all in on whatever is that I am doing,” he says. Because he is touring he says he is distracted by
performing, signings and interviews. And his slow, meticulous writing process isn’t exactly conducive to such conditions but he says that it is coming and he will be writing and recording on his short break in November. As Andy performs tonight, one thing’s for sure, he has found his passion and taken it to the next level. He is a shining example for anyone struggling with how to make it in the music industry that hard work and perseverance can still pay off, and you can be really happy doing it. You don’t have to sell yourself, your ideals, your style. Just “keep your head up,” and the world will give back what you put in.
