Artist In The Spotlight: Week 8

Before moving to Nashville in 2009, Andrew Belle had previously grown up in Wheaton, Illinois. It was not until the end of his time at university that his music career began, playing with a variety of bands from which came his solo career, starting up at local bars and restaurants in Chicago. 

He has since shared the stage whilst touring with the likes of Boyce Avenue, Ben Folds and Greg Laswell. His debut EP 'All those pretty lights' was released in 2008, from which songs were featured in hit TV shows such as '90210' and 'The Ghost Whisperer'. 

His music has earnt him the title of 'Best Breakout Artist' in 2009, with his voice resembling that of The Fray and Coldplay. His first full album was released in 2009/2010, called 'The Ladder' and features a "smart pop" sound, with tracks including 'Make It Without You' and 'The Ladder' 

His latest release is a Christmas single, a relaxing cover of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas', which is sure to keep his eager fans satisfied for the moment, although i'm sure a 2nd album should be on the way, and I look forward to hearing it!
