About
As far back as I can remember, I have always enjoyed being in front of the piano trying to make it sing. I was inspired to do so by the talent of my mother and older brother.
After giving my family members one too many headaches when I was much younger, I was given the opportunity to take piano lessons in order to refine my technique.
Through the course of the years, I developed an eclectic approach to my music. My attitude has been if I enjoy playing it, I will play it regardless of the genre. I would like to think the result has been a wide scope of music that appeals to a broader audience.
I look forward to performing at your functions. Thank-you in advance for the opportunity.
What I enjoy about my work is the opportunity it gives me to do something that I appreciate doing, as well as learning songs that I would otherwise not have heard or played.

Andrew and his music was a wonderful addition to the surprise party we hosted for my mother-in-law’s birthday. Prior to the event, he was very response to any questions we might have had and was thorough with understanding our expectations of the event. He arrived promptly to set up and dressed appropriately. He is kind, thoughtful and a pleasure to deal with! Andrew played beautifully and the music was enjoyed by all. A truly memorable party! Thank you again Andrew for making it a extra special day with fond memories which will be remembered for a long time!

Andy was incredible! From the second I talked to him on the phone to coordinate our details, to the very end of our rehearsal dinner, he was beyond professional, accommodating, and very good at what he does! He played for 3 hours at our rehearsal dinner, an array of music of genres. We loved every moment! He brought a beautiful feel to our rehearsal and every one complemented how wonderful, kind and professional he was! I would hire him over and over again for more moments in our life! It was perfect!

We had the honor of Andrew playing at a bridal shower for my future daughter-in-law. His follow up and follow through were top notch. He was professional and attentive to all details. And of course, the music that he played during the event was just wonderful. I highly recommend Andrew for your next function. You won’t have to worry about him showing up and being prepared and he is amazingly talented.

I discovered Andy while searching for a pianist to play at an intimate valentines day event. From our first call to the event date, Andy was attentive, professional, and personable. He took the time to go over his entire play list of romantic songs to ensure what he had fit the overall vibe of the event. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone in search of a pianist and will be reaching out again in the future. Thanks again, Andy!
