Andrew Shipp is a born and bred Queenslander, living in Gympie, Queensland.
His early years were in Chinchilla where he developed a taste for the country lifestyle and though he was never a farmer, Andrew still likes to call himself a country boy. With his wife of 12 years and 3.5 kids, Andrew is passionately a family man and loves to spend time with his wife, kids and extended family. Trained as an automotive and motorcycle mechanic, Andrew writes and records music in his home studio.
Andrew started playing music at about 4 years old picking up drums quickly. During early high school he started experimenting with guitar and piano and started playing these instruments in church alongside his brothers. Since then, Andrew has always been involved in gospel music, writing many songs for use in church congregations, while also playing cover sets in local establishments.
A notable feature of Andrew’s life has been his battle with depression and inner darkness, and he sings about overcoming these battles. Andrew wishes to be able to identify with others who struggle with the same battles and to create uplifting songs that lead to emotional healing.
