His first album, The Macclesfield Years reflects his broad influences and tells a range of diverse stories, real and imagined. Growing up in, and leaving behind his hometown; an ode to a friend who experienced a broken neck; Return Ticket, the true story of a suffragette; a Japanese Fable that is just that and no more; and 10-Advil Day, a cautionary tale of love, loss and Ibuprofen. Andy collaborates with a range of artists including his old friend in Scotland Pete Rawlinson, and the emerging NYC producer Marco Lamas. Andy takes a meticulous approach to his song arrangements and works with some of the most talented young session musicians in New York.

He has managed to capture those difficult moments in life with an honesty that is moving. If you are looking for a song that combines rock with a touch of country and blues, press play and let this story envelop you” Andy is currently crafting a follow-up album and plans to release a new single early in 2025.

Johnny Henderson

"My first love was music and it came from my mother. She was always singing gospel music around the house. The peace that would transcend with her singing during the hard times of my life was my inspiration. So I guess you can say gospel music is my spirit and R&B is my soul. I was at a nightclub with some friends when I first heard All This Love by Debarge and I was like, “Man! If I could sing like that” and pretty much that was it, the beginning….. 

I started working with my vocals and practicing with different musical genres which led me to writing my own songs. The first song I wrote was a gospel song called, Let’s Get Ready which got some good reviews from family and friends, but I knew I had to keep pushing and writing and learning. So I kept going and I wrote several more songs which were a combination of both gospel and R&B. I even submitted a song for a Coca Cola commercial and got knocked out at the last minute. However my music career was gaining traction. I began to get requests from other up and coming artists to sing on their songs and I collaborated with many talented artists. Today, my vocal ability has matured and grown into a solid flow. I have even started developing my own tracks. I see myself once again at the beginning of a career that can only get better and with the right opportunities, grow into a rising star."
