BIO
Born: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA
- 1950
Childhood and early teen years
were spent in the south – Louisiana, Arizona, Southern California and Virginia. In Virginia in ’63 a complete
transformation took place from white shirts, black shoes, and top grades to
Rock&Roll. After seeing a rock
band live for the first time, with no prior inclination, a life changing
decision was made. Within two years ‘The Levis’,
Andy’s first band, was born. The
Levi Company sponsored the band in “The Battle of the Bands” at the Virginia
Beach Dome with radio station WGH. -No trophies but good outfits-
His family immigrated to Canada
(1966), landing in Toronto, and then Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
Andy became a Canadian Citizen
and has worked as a musician, audio engineer, producer, composer and
author. He has owned and managed
record labels, music production and publishing companies. He currently resides
in Ontario, Canada, and produces music for television and film and is writing
