ANDREW L.D. –

THE ARTIST, SONG-WRITER, COMPOSER, PRODUCER,

ARRANGER …THE VISIONARY

When he first held a guitar at age 11, Andrew LD knew that this was what he was born to do – to make music.

Malaysia born and of mixed parentage (Chinese and Indian), he has been composing music and song lyrics since he was 13. Besides arranging and producing his music, he also sings all of his own compositions. He plays the various instruments you can find on his compositions, such as the guitar, keyboards, drums and synthesizes.

Experienced in performing at various events here in Malaysia, he recently “soft-launched” his promotional album (a collaborative effort with 2 other artistes – Simon Michaels, and Muneer – formerly from Urban Method) on 30th August 2008 here at Penang’s Sunset Bistro on the beach. The event was a great success, and 200 promotional autographed cds were given out to the crowd. The audience was given a little taste of what is contained on his upcoming first album “ANDREW L.D. – Walking Star”, which is due to be released year-end 2008. The songs range from pop, rock, rhythm and blues, reggae, ballads, trance, to ethnic and gothic melodies. He explains the diversity ...“I love music, all types of music, so I write all types of songs to suit every taste of my life”. As for the album title and title track, he explains that “The walk of life is difficult, full of bumps in its winding roads, but it can be overcome by putting our minds to it. …We are all stars, special in our own way. Begin by loving yourself…and everything else around you will love you too”.

Aside from his album, Andrew has another project in the works of which he deeply believes in. Entitled Project “United Malaysia”, it is a song he is currently working on, and will involve any Malaysian wanting to participate in the video. Whether they be from the private or government sector, actors, artistes… as Andrew puts it “All races and faces. For mankind… for a United Nation... a United Malaysia”.

Besides all this keeping him busy round the clock, Andrew also has his own company – Impressive Talent Agency – in which he has been organizing events for other artistes and companies for the past few years.

Upcoming events to watch out for performances by Andrew and fellow artistes Simon Michaels and Muneer, will be the Taiping Sentral Launch on 28th Sept 2008 at 2.00pm, and The Hari Raya Celebration at Sunway Carnival Mall on 2nd Oct 2008 at 7.00pm.

There has been no stopping him since he was 11… we are definitely going to be hearing and seeing a lot more of Andrew L.D.!
