I hired Andrew to play at the welcome event for my wedding and he was so great! He made the vibe fantastic and was the easiest hire ever being so responsive, responsible, and accommodating. I will absolutely hire him again for my next event and highly recommend him. I feel like it can be tough to find the right professional online because reviews aren't always necessarily accurate. But Andrew was 100% worth it and so very talented.

Andrew added so much to our evening. We loved the choice of music. It brought back a lot of memories. An incredible and talented guitarist and musician. I thought his price was also very reasonable and I really enjoyed talking to him. Thank you again Andrew!!!

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My Grandmother is a composer for the symphony and both of my parents are musical. I had these family influences early in my life that encouraged me to take piano lessons. When I was 12 years old, I picked up my Dad's guitar and started teaching myself to play. I started playing with other musicians, composing, and teaching at the age of 16 and became passionate about music in all aspects. From that time, I knew that I wanted to make music my life's work.
