Andy's first experience with drums was around the age of nine in a marching band, and from then on, rhythm was a passion. Teenage years spent in Philadelphia compounded his love of hip-hop beats and returning to Britain during the second 'Summer of Love' added to a techno tinge to the equation. In 1993 he arrived in Manchester for a sound engineering course but soon found himself frustrated by the confines that a formal technical education placed on his creativity. A year later he was offered a job in a Manchester studio and found his que to move on. Despite enjoying her work in photography, Louise continued to feel that her creativity was being confined.
Music has to move on and embrace new forms.
Andy didn't want a singer. Besides, he was busy engineering and co-producing remixes with DJ1s as a 'day job' while writing his own material under the name of 'the Hipoptimist'. Then out of the blue, he got a phone call from a complete stranger asking if he'd consider working with her on some ideas. The rest, as they say, is history. Two worlds collided and formed Lamb.
