"The experimental happiness of The-Beatles-with-a-Pro-Tools-rig mixed with The Kinks' warm nostalgia and Elliott Smith's beautiful melancholy." ====================> Hey! I’m Andrew Vroomans, a singer/songwriter/producer of Beatles-type super melodic pop, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Europe. It feels like I have been writing and singing songs about life and love and emotions since birth. These days I even do that professionally. The musical thing, not birth... Melody and harmony, atmospheres and words are my means to get the stories across. I perform and record my songs both solo and with my bands The Rodberries and Cry Ugly.
