At seventeen, he produced his first track with legendary synth creator David Vorhaus. He also set up his first label Sperm Records and released over fifty 12" and four albums, as well as remixing five Top 10 UK releases including Toni Di Bart, Bananarama and Heaven 17.
In 1998 Andy started working with DJ Nic Fancuilli and formed Skylark. The duo, renowned for their remix abilities, became a massively in-demand act remixing for Kylie, Michael Grey, Tears for Fears and Deep Dish, and released their first single the 'That's More Like It' on Credence (EMI). Andy and Nic launched Saved Records to release "Quality House Music". Their other act as a duo, The Buick Project became even more in demand than Skylark remixing Underworld, Tiefschwartz, Unkle and Tracy Thorne to name a few, and it was their remix of Tracey Thorne's 'Damage' that was nominated for Remix of the Year at the 2007 Grammy Awards.
In 2001 Andy created The Droyds and new label God Made Me Hardcore
with Richard Norris (The Grid). Their first release was the now seminal

to Poptones). Andy and Richard (The Droyds) produced a single for Siobhan
Fahey (Bananarama / Shakespeare Sister) - 'Bitter Pill' (God Made Me
Hardcore). The same track was released by the Pussy Cat Dolls as 'Hot
Stuff' on their debut multi million selling album PCD with The Droyds
producing, and Andy further arranging and mixing.
