MyGen Profile Generator

Andrew grew up in Vancouver, BC. He has worked with Rayburn Blake of Mashmakhan, and Frankie Hart of Riverson. The song, "One More Move" was arranged by Rayburn, and sung by Frankie. Frankie has recently had a comeback with her techno duo Lola Dutronic, who have done a remix of Katrina and the Waves, "Walking on Sunshine". Andrew has also worked with Billy Freedom, who sings on "Gypsy".
Andrew is now concentrating his efforts on amalgamating traditional Okinawa music with modern day pop.
