Hi all!
My name is Andy J, and I am a singer/songwriter.
I'm from Melbourne Australia and would consider my music as quite eclectic, since it does't fit snugly into a specific category, though it's maily a mix of pop and rock. I'm thinking of doing an originals band though this would depend on your comments, cheers and enjoy!

Why this name?
It's actually my name.
Do you play live?
I have played live in the past, though in various cover bands. I'm considering doing the originals thing, it depends on people's support.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It presents a whole new audience to one's music,
and a fantasic place to promote. UIt also can help to bypass record co's etc.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That would depend on the contract.
