Brainwash Wears Off

About Me


Simple bios should have simple introductions. My name is Andrew. Growing up, I was an athlete in baseball, amateur wrestling and bowling primarily, but I had short stints in soccer, basketball and football. When I got to high school, I developed an immense love for theater. I was part of an incredible acting ensemble at Varina High School and enjoyed several successful productions with casts who I considered to be family. When I was 16, I opened my own business, running Richmond, VA's most successful promotion agency for rock and metal bands of the past 2 decades. Painted Red Promotions was a huge part of my life, but in June 2005, I shut the company down in hopes of giving my life an overhaul. From December 2004 until March of 2006, I played drums with the acoustic/jazz rock band Fall of Rome. Right before the band broke up, we were working on new material for our debut album, and playing the best clubs that Richmond has to offer. I work as a security officer with Old Dominion Security and am currently enrolled at VCU. After I get my Masters in criminal justice and a bachelors in business, I plan to go to law school, where I can get paid to argue. A career in law is ideal for me because I believe that everyone will get what they deserve, and if I have to be the guy to give it to them, so be it. I am the singer for Unheard Concept, Richmond's best kept secret. We formed in October 2006 and have already recorded a couple tracks.
