| ST. ANDREW | ||
 |
Self-described as "smart, socially conscious pop music," the Los Angeles-based classically trained pianist and talented singer St. Andrew infuses 20 years of his classical musicianship into his contemporary music. Known for his larger than life melodies, effective use of double entendre, and clean songwriting form, St. Andrew engages a social dialogue underneath a sheen of shiny pop sensibility. His debut 2011 EP, "No Man's Land," discusses the intersection of religion, sexuality, war, and today’s party culture. The album was reviewed at last year's ASCAP EXPO and during the first week of its release, was featured alongside Jason Derulo and the Glee Cast on AOL Music. Incorporating elements of body contortion and neo-classical piano playing into his performances, St. Andrew is on a mission to deliver visually stimulating and lyrically intelligent pop music. Andrew is currently working on his second EP to be released at the end of this summer. |
