Biography

Andy Bull is a 23 year old singer, songwriter and piano player from Sydney, but above all else Andy Bull is a voice. Reaching into a high register usually reserved for the Aretha Franklin's of the musical world, Andy's voice simultaneously expresses a singular purity and soulful intention that stands him apart from most performers of his generation.

Andy began his musical life as a young child playing on the parlour piano and pump organ his keyboard enthusiast father had collected through his travels. Soon eclipsing his father's own abilities at the piano, a number of crucial records came into Andy's life very early on - Carol King's Tapestry, Nas's Illmatic, Led Zeppelin's Led Zep II, Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Neil Young's Harvest. It is the discovery of these records at a very early age which explains the sophistication Andy displays in his own songwriting and vocal delivery today. The result is a stylish but classic blend of soul, rock and tin pan alley era songwriting and lyricism that straddles vintage analogue recording techniques alongside brash hip hop age production.

In 2004 Andy hooked up with Sydney based producer and multi-instrumentalist Tony Buchen (Blue King Brown, Kid Confucius, Macromantics, The Whitlams). They began recording demos and put together a small live group of some of the most inspiring players Sydney has to offer. Beginning recording after a short US tour, Tony was keen to bring the live energy of the band to Andy’s songs. Kanye West himself (in Sydney on tour with U2) dropped into the recording sessions at Sydney's Electric Avenue Studios and hung out to listen to the works in progress. Tony and Andy then travelled to NYC where they mixed the album at Jimi Hendrix’s legendary Electric Lady Studios. On the strength of those mixes, Andy was signed to Island Records Australia.

The question that continues to be asked by all who come into contact with Andy Bull is "where does that voice come from?" With Andy’s debut being released in Australia in 2008, the world is about to get much closer to answering that question.
