I've Been a Fool

Andrew Kevin Newton (AKN) is a singer-songwriter from Kingston upon Hull, UK. His love for music began at nine years old when he first heard Wouldn’t It Be Good by Nik Kershaw — a spark that never went out and still drives everything he creates.

AKN’s sound blends the sophistication of Nik Kershaw, the emotion and ambition of Tears For Fears, the alternative edge of Mansun, the grit of Oasis, and the raw honesty of Third Eye Blind. The result is music that feels timeless, personal, and unfiltered — songs that connect with anyone who’s lived through love, loss, and survival.

In 2008, Andrew wrote All the Stars for Gemma, a deeply personal album shaped by heartbreak, resilience, and memory. Too raw to release at the time, it became a private time capsule. Seventeen years later, in 2025, the album finally saw the light of day — proof that music born from the heart has no expiry date.

Through AKN Records, Andrew continues to create on his own terms. He doesn’t chase charts, followers, or fame; he writes to leave behind a footprint, a legacy, and a reminder that real music still matters. Every song is a piece of himself: unapologetic, emotional, and built to last.

For listeners, AKN’s music offers connection and truth. Whether it’s love, heartbreak, or the quiet strength of survival, his songs are an open invitation: real music for real people.
