“‘Gone Too Soon,’ is about a long distance relationship I had with my girlfriend (now fiancé),” says Andrew. “It’s about how we just never wanted the time we spent together to end. People have connected to this song in many different ways but that’s exactly what music is supposed to be, subjective. Some may interpret the song being about ‘the other person’ in a messy relationship and there are certainly some parallels to that feeling but to me it’s about the love of my life.”
Andrew’s genuine personality and unique voice resonate through his music. A true blend of homegrown roots and modern country for the next generation, he says that having people ‘connect’ to his music is what it’s all about. The 26 year old Flowery Branch, GA native has been blown away by the diversity of listeners who have already been commenting and sharing snippets of his music on social media. A truly 21st century country music success story in the making, Andrew’s deeply felt songs and vocals are immediately connecting with fans, mediated completely through social media.
Just two and half years ago, Andrew wasn’t even dreaming about a career in music. When he performed his blind audition for The Voice in the spring of 2019, it was his first time performing solo for a live audience. Not many can boast an audience of 12 million for their first ever gig. Andrew left The Voice with praise from Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine, and a great deal more experience than he had before, but to make a career in music he still had to figure out how to make his own way and build an audience from the ground up. Cutting his teeth on the likes of Brad Paisley and Garth Brooks yet finding inspiration from acts like Kane Brown and Sam Hunt, Andrew aims to carve his own path in country music now.
