Exclusive Interview - Andrew Healey

Please join us as we welcome Andrew Healey to chat with Heart of Indie Radio Co-Host Emme Lentino. Andrew Healey is a singer/songwriter living in New Zealand. So far, he’s released two EPs of original material: ‘Urban Songs’ (2007) and ‘Today is a beautiful day (2009). Andrew plans to release his third EP in November this year. Before COVID-19 stuck, Andrew hadn’t written any original material for several years — he focused instead on playing cover gigs. However, when he was no longer able to perform because of lockdown, he returned to his first love: songwriting. A feel-good song, ‘The Sun is Up’ is the first release from Andrew’s upcoming EP. It describes one of the walks Andrew took with his partner during lockdown last year. Musically, ‘The Sun is Up’ consists of main vocals, acoustic guitars, ukulele, and percussion. Andrew recorded the song in his home studio and played all the instruments himself. To ensure a professional standard, ‘The Sun is Up’ was mixed and mastered by a professional audio engineer.
