The ‘Winter’s Heart’ album features the Chamber Ensemble of London, one of the UK’s finest string orchestras, with whom Andrew collaborated on for his centre piece work from which the album is named. 

Andrew has performed live Classic FM headquarters in Leicester Square, London, had his music videos featured on their Facebook page with over 100K views. In 2018 Andrew headlined 3 sold out concerts in London (Blüthner Piano Centre, St Pancras Old Church, Shoreditch Treehouse) as well as a performance with the St. Albans Symphony orchestra supporting artists such as Pixie Lott and 10CC at the Meraki Festival in Hertfordshire.

Andrew’s next musical release is a 4-track solo piano EP called ‘The Music Box’  that explores the more introspective sound world of the piano, recorded using felt on the hammers of the keys for a translucent tone. ‘The Music Box’ has melody at its heart, conjuring an ethereal dream, with reflective moods and emotions that take the listener on a journey from start to finish. Beautiful memories and stories are encapsulated in this miniature musical masterpiece.
