Andy Michaels Interview
Muzique Magazine. When did you start making music and taking it serious?
Andy Michaels. After I was recovering from a serious car accident when I was only 18 years old, I started to learn and play guitar seriously. The song writing followed later.
Muzique Magazine. Do you feel that the industry needs more artist like yourself? Why?
Andy Michaels. Actually I do because music should be about the fusion of lyrics and melody, not just one or the other. There seems to be a void of music which harnesses the power of intelligent and emotive lyrics and memorable melodies at the same time.
Muzique Magazine. Would you prefer to be independent or signed to a major?

Muzique Magazine. Who was your inspiration?
Andy Michaels. Cat Stevens, Pink Floyd, David Bowie and Neil Young
Muzique Magazine. What is your favorite song? Angel (at this stage ).
