## Biography

As a young kid, Andrew absolutely admired the music of Prince, Michael Jackson, Van Halen and Duran Duran, and wanted to be like him.

These "songs" (recorded in 1997) were released in 2017, in a compilation called "Da Toy Boxz: 20 Years Of Being In Da Boxz", coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the recordings.

In 1998, Andrew and Carson met Danny Green, who would become good friends as well. It was at this point, that Andrew and Carson seriously considered starting a band.

## Career

### Party Without PJ's (1998-2000)

Andrew, Carson and Danny formed the band Party Without PJ's in 1998. They would make two albums, *Move It or Get Out!* and *Idiotic.* The albums never got mainstream attention, but they did develop a cult following. Andrew stated that

"This was practically the beginning to our career, those albums may not have sold very well, but we did quickly develop a small following."

Carson thought that the name was incredibly stupid, to which, after a while, Andrew and Danny agreed. They decided to rename the group.

### Hollow Shell (2000-2003)

In 2000, the band was renamed to Hollow Shell, though they also considered calling the band "Vertical Dancers" "To The Top!" "Midlevel Hit" "Punching The Cherries".
