About – Andrew Brooks Official

Andrew Brooks

is an up and coming musicia/artist from Massachusetts. Andrew has been playing music for as long as anyone can remember, and is entirely self-taught in vocals and piano, taking some guitar lessons in high school. He graduated from Umass Amherst in 3 years with a degree in Physics, doing research on Black-Holes in higher dimensions. He took the high standards of expertise required in high-energy physics, and used it to begin his career in the arts. His art is an introspective analysis of events in his life and the world around him, and how they philosophically relate to spirituality and physical law.

Influences

Andrew takes inspiration from just about every genre, including classical and jazz, but his genre of choice is classic rock. As a song writer, he is greatly influenced by The Beatles, particularly Jonh Lennon, David Bowie, and Elton John/Bernie Taupin.

As a guitarist, he has many legends he looks up to. Some of his favorites are Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Steve Howe (Yes), Randy Rhodes (Ozzy Ozbourne), and Pat Metheny.

What’s With the Necklaces?

Each charm represents a philosphical tenant learned through experience. They are often represented in multiple art forms and are sacred meditative techniques based off of different fragments of the human condition.
