A glimpse at the diverse audiences he has performed for illustrates just how magnetic his music has become. The many high school and college-age students, urban professionals, children, church congregations, and others who have attended Andrew's performances have experienced an engaging, life-infused young man who simply loves to share stories of truth, love, faith, humor, and the challenges of everyday life through his music.
