Lyric writer deciding to his own original compositions.Available for lyric writing projects also.
Why this name?
It`s my name ;o)
Do you play live?
No,I am releasing music purely for the enjoyment of listening and to express my lyrical talent.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it`s great,the more people that hear music the better.Radio sometimes doesn`t play the new artists.Internet has no boundaries.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not sure,if the deal was right for me,I need the independence in my music.
Band History:
Andy Goodwin would like to be known as a lyric writer,but the songs on both his albums to date suggest a rare talent in complete songwriting.With over 350 song lyrics written since the age of 17 there is a vast amount of songs that can be created.He is writing constantly when he `feels inspired by someone or something`.He joined the International Songwriters Association and gained valuable knowledge on the art of songwriting and made several demos using session musicians to hear his lyrics in `song form`.After a few failed writing collaborations,and after some successful `tryout songs`with his brother Mike on guitar,he decided to `go it alone`.The debut cd `From 17 To The Web Of Dreams`was born,Andy singing and composing,recording and producing all 11 original tracks.A wide variety of styles and genres,a mesh of sounds,this album was the start of something big.The dance/electronica lead track `Little Miss `M`was recently a finalist in Song of The Year for March.Making this cd was such an enjoyable experience,in 2003 the second album was released.`Give A Heart And Joy,Take A Break And Pain`featured 13 tracks,a massive progression on the debut cd.The lead track is the funky indo-asian `Sisterfriend`.Andy is currently working on a third album,which will include,in his own words,`some weird and wonderful sounds` and some joint offerings with other writers.It looks like A.S. Goodwin is here to stay,he`s created a sound of his own,appealing to fans of many different genres.Both CD cover art by Dixdesign("ur the best!").Czech models("thx with all my heart") Monica(Little Miss M)and Drew(Sisterfriend)appear on cd artwork.
