'Andy Chandler is sensational. Truly one of the most original male vocals I have heard since the start of London Unplugged.
It's a pleasure to have Andy take to the stage and capture our audience with his stunning songs and passionate stage presence.
A true artist and most definitely a rising star.'
London Unplugged
Born in Stockport, and inspired by Manchester's flourishing
indie scene, classically trained Andy began writing songs when he was just eleven years old. His childhood heroes were Ray Charles, Tom Waits and Otis Redding but by 2008 it was the guitar sounds of Radiohead, Elbow and Kings of
Leon that were inspiring his writing.
With this in mind Andy started to work with guitar playing
collaborators who helped him find and develop his sound.
Whilst writing his new material and playing 'bill-paying'
piano bar gigs, Andy was invited to open for and accompany
award-winning soul singer Nate James on his UK tour.
The tour's success lead to invites from the leading lights of
London's acoustic scene with gigs at The Great Indoors,
London Unplugged, Curious Generation and The Bedford.
In October 2008, Andy wrote and recorded his debut single,
'Playboy Money' and three days after putting pen to paper it
was signed by ITV producer Gavin Blyth for his forth coming film.
The early part of 2009 saw Andy continuing to develop his sound and collaborating with an exciting collective of musicians.
In July he went into the studio with producer Fred Ruddick (No Fakin’, 6ix Toys) to start work on his first batch of demos. With the help of fellow musicians Miss Afrika, Terry Butters, Mark Beaney, Jake Foord and Adam Beaney he has produced nine tracks that he cant wait for the world to hear!
