Andrew's musical journey is filled with rich and varied experiences in music and drama. Born in England, he has been immersed in classical piano, singing, and acting since he was a child. He holds a Masters in Music from Cambridge University and received a full scholarship to London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

His first score, for the cult series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, earned him a BAFTA Nomination for the Anthony Asquith Award. Since then, Andrew has scored a wide variety of theatrical feature films that showcase his versatility and adaptability, and TV that includes series, cult comedy, documentaries, commercials, animation, docudramas, and tv movies, across the USA and Europe.
Collaborating with renowned filmmakers, Andrew has become a sought-after composer in the industry. His scores include psychological drama The Double (Jesse Eisenberg, Mia Wasikowska), gothic drama We Have Always Lived In The Castle (Crispin Glover), thriller Villains (Bill Skarsgård, Kyra Sedgwick), drama The Stanford Prison Experiment (Billy Crudup), coming of age comedy Submarine (Craig Roberts, Sally Hawkins), adventure comedy Bill, and crime thriller Mojave (Oscar Isaac, Mark Whalberg) for director William Monahan (The Departed) - see REVIEWS section.

Den of Geek
a top-notch strings-only score (with an emphasis on cello) ticks all the boxes for a great listening experience, this is one of Movie Score Media's brightest hidden stars, and I recommend you take a listen to this inventive score.
Maintitles
Clearly one of the year's most stylistically coherent film scores, building most of its mesmerizing underscoring on the simple two note motif - ingeniously based on the bird's call. An impressive lesson in how to construct a truly effective film score
