Artist: Andrew Esner
I’m a self taught musician that plays many instruments like: piano, guitar, drums and bass. I also sing and do vocals. I’ve built my own music studio in my basement and create original music.

I live in…
I live in Brooklyn, NewYork.
I spend most of my time in Brooklyn, New York making music from my home music studio.

Who has been the most influential in your music and why..
My father was the most influential in my music by always getting me what I need to make my music. Also for believing in me as a musician and encouraging me to stay true to myself. I only feel truly fulfilled when I’m making music. I completely realize that every piece of music isn’t for everyone but the whole point of creating is to challenge yourself and improve your skills. As long as I’m doing that, the music will find its’ listener.

What is your ultimate goal?
I have been a musician since I was 5 years old. But my ultimate dream is to be a famous musician that travels the world. This is all thanks to my loving father who recently just passed away. He always believed in me as a musician and did what ever he could to help me succeed.

Describe your songwriting and production process..
My process is typically simple and organic. It all starts with an idea inspired by just about anything from life to feelings that need to be expressed. I sit down and start recording guitar or piano in a program called ProTools, next I’ll hop on the drums and make a nice sounding beat to what I just made. Then I’ll add some bass guitar to that. After the music is made ill start writing lyrics by listening to the music over and over again. Finally, when I’m ready to start mixing the music, it’s just a matter of time to produce the sound the way I like.
