The
Spin
Former X Factor finalist Andy is currently writing his
third album after winning over the nation with his soulful sound. His
Eurovision entry "Even If" is a funky ballad about a man who
has found genuine love and wants to show his commitment. Andy believes
his song is catchy, memorable, and cool enough to be a winner.
Andy is a man of mass musical talent, personal integrity...
a family man. Andy is a songwriter. A man who has braved and exceeded
all expectations and media obstacles over the last four years. Andy is
a man who has dealt with the media spotlight with such personality that
he has been dubbed the "man and voice of the people" Andy has
sold half a million records in less than two years. Andy Abraham is a
man of the people. There are no airs and graces. A man who has nurtured
his vocal and writing talent for many years and now, on his own terms
is set to move on to the world stage. Andy is the UK's chosen representative
at the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade, Serbia.
Andy co-wrote Even If with his favourite co-writers Andy
Watkins and Paul Wilson from Absolute. A team who, like Andy have sold
more records than we care to mention. Andy is currently working on his
3rd solo album, also entitled Even If, due for release on 26th May. The
single Even If will be physically available on 12th May with digital release
two weeks prior.
"I'm freaked out! What can I say - the public and
my loyal fans have voted me in and I'm over the moon. They believe like
I did that ‘Even If' is a song for the masses. The UK audience have
once again been behind me. I'm seriously hoping and I will try my best
to make them proud out in Serbia because it is about the song. I really
hope people in Europe give the song a chance..." Andy Abraham said,
30 minutes after been chosen by the UK audience.
Andy will be the perfect ambassador for the UK. In a
year where his beloved football team (England) have been unable to make
the cut for the Euro 2008, Andy sees his performance in Serbia as an opportunity
to restore pride to the UK.
From obscurity to chart artist Andy Abraham's meteoric
rise to chart star has been what dreams are made of. Andy is exactly as
you would expect. He is a father first, the family man who just happens
to have the voice to stop you in your tracks.
Andy has sold over half a million albums in less than
two years and embarked on a sold out nationwide tour that culminated in
a sold out concert at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London. Andy's
hugely loyal fan base will now back him all the way to the Eurovision
final in Serbia with the soulful funk and self-penned track Even If. As
Andy explains: "It is a soulful love song guaranteed to be appreciated
by both British and European music fans alike." Andy is one of the
only X Factor contestants that still connect both musically and personally
with his mentors on the X Factor Show. Both Sharon Osborne and Simon Cowell,
collectively commented that Andy is "the most genuinely nice guy...he
looks set to do us all proud in Serbia."
Andy continues to work excitedly on his third album which
will comprise original material co-written by Andy and various hugely
successful writers & production teams from home and abroad. Andy moves
on to the world stage and the next phase of his musical career, where
he gets to showcase to the public his own style of music whilst keeping
the core of his fans happy. As he says: "I believe it's important
to write and be involved in the next stage of my career because I've so
much to prove to myself. I take nothing for granted. This is a great journey
for me and my family. My family is everything to me. My wife Denise is
my manager, and we are embarking on the next stage of my musical journey
together." Now is the time for Andy to convey his great vocal ability
but also his unique song writing talents. The ride has only just begun....
Andy with a team of trusted and experienced industry
executives has put together his own label B-Line Records. The music industry
has changed considerably over the last couple of years, with artists taking
a greater level of control in their careers. As Andy says: "The opportunities
are endless. I have handpicked my own team who share my vision for my
career. Whether it is Radiohead, George Michael I am at the coalface of
my career."
