Andy Grammer is my favorite musicain! His real name is Andrew Charles Grammer. He was born in Los Angeles, California on December 3rd, 1983. He is a self made artisit that worked hard to create a name for himself.

Andy's mother, Kathryn Willoughby Grammer, was a women's rights activist. In the fourth grade Andy learned to play the trumpet. He later learned guitar and piano.

Although he had a bit of a rough start Andy put in the time and pursued his dream of becoming a musician. He started working at the Viper Room as a booker. He occasionally preformed there as well. He kept writing songs during his free time and eventually decided to perform his work on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. He took to street performing because he wanted to be heard and as he said “I didn’t know what else to do. So, I just went out there and started playing.” In 2007, he released his first short EP The World Is Yours. Then he released another short EP Soft Lights on Bright Colors in 2009. Then he self-produced a CD, which he sold on the street between his performances. He sold 7-8 thousand CD’s just on the street. His first big success was when he opened for Tyrone Wells and Emerson Drive in 2007. Andy Grammer’s manager first heard him playing on the streets of LA in 2009. Andy released his first music video he created with Rainn Wilson in 2010, to the song Keep Your Head Up. Andy eventually signed with S-Curve records later in 2010. He officially released the song as a single in 2011 and then released his first official album later that year, named after himself. Andy was the first male single in 10 years to get on the Top 10 on Adult Pop Radio, before him was John Mayer. That year he accompanied a few artists on tours. First, he opened for the Plain White T’s, then participates in Natasha Bedingfield’s tour. He participated in Colbie Caillat’s US and Canada Tour, and lastly, he was a guest in Nashville on Taylor Swifts Tour. The two of them performed a duet version of his hit song Keep Your Head Up.
