Artistfacts:
| Born in California, he was raised in Michigan, around the Detroit area. |
| His sound is basically death-metal with pop melodies. He feels that he shouldn't limit his taste in music and writes what he feels. |
| Began his classical piano lessons at age four. Unlike most, he never quit, but moved on to drumming in death-metal groups as a teen. |
| His first EPs were released on Bulb Records, home to such wonderfully obscure artists as Quintron, Ass Baboons of Venus and 25 Suaves. |
| As a one-man show, he played a couple of opening slots for Foo Fighters in the early 2000's. |
| When he finally formed a band, it was with three guitars, a bass and a drummer. One of the guitarists is Jimmy Coup, who played with thrash band Coup de Grace. The drummer, Donald "D.T." Tardy, was in the death-metal group Obituary. |
| Upon the release of his debut album, NME (a popular British music magazine) dubbed Andrew "The Saviour of Music." |
| Early shows featured no more than Andrew onstage with a CD player, keyboard, and microphone. |
