Andrew has been involved in productions of operas such as "Die Fledermaus" with RNCM, "Turandot" as part of an all asian casting with the Opera Makers in 2023 both as a member of the chorus. In 2024 Andrew played his first operatic role as "Spalanzani" in Preston opera's production of Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffman" receiving much praise for his comedic portrayal.
Most recently Andrew was selected for a solo excerpt of Jasdeep Singh Degun's Indian Classical fusion interpretation on Monteverdi's "Orfeo" in a concert showcase at RNCM, showing not only the capability of singing early music, but also learning and performing skills in improvisation.
Outside Classical Music...
Andrew has been heavily involved with many projects outside of opera and classical music.
In October 2023 he performed as part of the RNCM Session orchestra concert delivering a rendition of "Feeling Good" using Jazz/modern singing techniques, that received high praise.
In September 2024 he performed internationally aboard MSC Cruises in Japan as a guest artist performing popular classical music as well as Jazz and Musical numbers to crowds in the London theatre onboard the MSC Bellissima.
In March 2025 Andrew debuted the role of Michael/Michael's Dad for the Premiere show run of "Kevin! the musical" written by Will Sharland, in an acting/comedy heavy role. As a main character he was pushed to learn a lot of content and improved his acting skills considerably throughout this showrun.
Andrew is also the singer/frontman of Prog/Djent-metal band "Divinitas" who he has been a member of since October 2023. In February 2025 they released their Debut album "It's all gone quiet now" which was received well with around 50.000 streams on Spotify. They now have a dedicated following in the city of Manchester where they are based having sold out their first headline show at the Star and Garter to a crowd of 100 quickly following it up with a show at Academy 3 4 months later. They now hold demand across the country with a tour in the diary for October-November 2025.
Being in Divinitas has given Andrew a creative outlet for his musical writings as well as pushing him to learn new skills constantly, such as most recently arranging 2 of the songs off the album for Band plus 5 piece string ensemble for a live performance alongside the Silverchamber Orchestra.
