With numerous ASCAP and BMI awards for most performed songs to his credit, Andy has established himself as a writer/producer/entrepreneur in the top echelons of the music business.

Andy has written for and produced a wide variety of super star artists through out the 80’s and 90’s and into the new millennium including, Jermaine Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Carly Simon, Elton John, Alice Cooper, Celine Dion, *NSYNC, Jessica Simpson, and Billy Ray Cyrus. A few of his major hits are “Soul Provider” and “Love Is A Wonderful Thing” by Michael Bolton, “By The Time This Night Is Over” by Peabo Bryson and Kenny G, “Dynamite” by Jermaine Jackson, “Forever Tonight” by Peter Cetera, and “You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo song)” by Jeffrey Osborne. All of these songs were instrumental in taking the artists behind them to multi platinum success.

Andy’s signature worldwide smash “Crush” with Jennifer Paige was his first foray into the entrepreneurial world. He discovered Paige, a bar band singer at the time, and turned her into an artist recognized around the world within 2 years by writing, producing, promoting, pressing, and distributing her records on GMARK Music, his own independent label, and then making a deal with Hollywood Records for world wide release.

Andy was also Vice President of A&R for Jive Records. There, over a period of 5 years, he helped oversee the making of records for a roster of superstars that included The Backstreet Boys, *NSync, Jennifer Love Hewitt, No Secrets, and Aaron Carter.

Most recently Andy, taking a different kind of musical journey, co-wrote, produced and released through his label 529 Music two instrumental Contemporary Jazz albums by jazz keyboardist John Novello known for his work with Chick Corea and Niacin. The albums titled “Ivory Soul” and “Good To Go” resulted in two singles that went to #1 on Billboard and Media Base and two in the Top 10.
