He started in the music business over a dozen years ago after performing an original song on the final season of Ed McMahon's Star Search. Interestingly enough, Andrew lost to Joy Enriquez who later went on to win the show. (She later married super pop/r&b producer Rodney Jerkins).

After his appearance on Star Search, Andrew's friend, Patrick Alan (he was the casting director of Star Search) invited him to perform open mic shows in NYC. Andrew spent years mostly performing one song over and over again at these shows which always had legendary artists in attendance looking on. That song, I NEED YOU TONIGHT, happened to have been heard by an industry a&r representative at a birthday party his close friend Samantha Cole was having in Oct. 1996. Since that day, Andrew's life hasn't been the same. I NEED YOU TONIGHT became the first song cut of his career landing on Backstreet Boys 1999 release, Millennium which went on to sell approximately 25 million albums worldwide (13 million RIAA certified in the USA) and had 5 Grammy nominations. He also added Spanish Eyes to that album which he co-wrote with his legendary songwriter cousin, Sandy Linzer.

Andrew was born and raised in Edison, NJ, and graduated from J.P Stevens High School in 1993, but currently resides in Tennessee and continues to write with some of the industry's elite songwriters and producers.
