Andrew has over ten years experience performing, teaching and composing music in Australia and Switzerland. He is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter and has worked professionally to compose and produce music for various projects. Andrew has worked on full feature films, audiobooks and advertisements adding up to a diverse and interesting body of work. This year Andrew released his latest EP with his band Canvas Road. As well as playing with Canvas Road, Andrew plays with other projects around Melbourne and will be heading back to Switzerland for some shows in December.

Andrew has a Bachelor of Music, in which he explored an eclectic mix of styles of music and composition for film. His time in Switzerland lead him to discover a new world of music, and a new language, which made him think and compose in a different way. Living and walking amongst the old buildings of Europe gave this musician a different take on what he was creating and has lead to a new direction in his musical life. Some of Andrew’s highlights include an appearance on ABC 774, the scoring of the independent feature film Stillwater with Tomas Strode, the composition of Quoi de Neuf (French audiobooks) and playing at RAW Art’s Scope in September.
