Andrew Kremer

Composer/producer/bass player

About Me

In the last ten years, Andrew has established himself as an accomplished bass player, producer and composer, not only through his releases with Graceland, Zohar, Jessica Lauren and a host of other artists, but also through his writing for television and film. Although best known as a bass player, on both bass guitar and double bass, Andrew has studied tabla and sitar in India, plays guitar, Chapman Stick, the Hang, keyboards, Udu, harmonium, darabuka, and a host of other percussion instruments, many found on his travels (during which he has also made his own recordings ranging from the chants of young Buddhist monks in the Himalayas to the sounds of the Amazon rain forest in Brazil).He has worked with musicians from across the globe in a wide variety of settings, and it is perhaps this along with his multi-instrumental abilities that are now resulting in him becoming increasingly in-demand as a composer.In November 2006, Andrew was awarded his Masters Degree in Music with Merit having studied composition with Sebastian Forbes and Steve Goss at University of Surrey.Things to look out for....new singles (Graceland - The One), new albums (Zohar - Do You Have Any Faith?), new films (Between Friends & Inside David Mamet's Computer) and new series for television (Trauma & Serious Andes BBC1).
