Job Titles:
- Echevarria Marketing Director
"Andrew recently contributed the music component to our charity/ marketing event in our office. He was a total hit with the customers and employees! Generally, when you have customer events where people are networking, the first 30 minutes tend to be awkward as everyone tries to find their ways around the event and more people show up. Instead, Andrew's music created an insta-environment of fun and mingling. He played exactly what we wanted, a nice mix of bossa nova and jazz though it was not his regular set! He is clearly VERY talented, understands his customer's needs and is a great compliment to any event. Can't recommend him enough."
