About Me

Andrew has been playing bass for over 15 years. He began playing in his high school stage band, where he worked in jazz and funk stylings to go with his original love of progressive music.In 1995, he suffered an accident which resulted in several cuts to his left hand, requiring plastic surgery and nerve damage repair. Dejected, he left the bass alone for almost two years - but he never stopped listening. A good friend got him to appreciate his own talent once again, so Andrew went back to the instrument with renewed determination to become the best bass player anyone could ask for.Today, Andrew is in great demand for live projects and studio sessions. He keeps a solid groove and is well-known for his slap bass and tapping work.
