  Andrew fell in love with music at primary school, learning how to play keyboards and piano and started gigging in several groups. His first 'proper' job was church organist at St Barnabas, in Hereford, while touring the country in his brother's band. At the age of 14, Andrew landed his first DJ residency at a Hereford nightclub.

  Andrew was also a volunteer at Hereford Hospital Radio, presenting a news-based show and served on the committee. In 2000, he won a BT Non-Music Programme Of The Year award having spent four years at the organisation.

  In 2005, Andrew was given his own show on the 麻豆约拍, becoming the first person to discover and give airtime to artists such as Ellie Goulding, Becky Hill and Peace.
