Andy has been writing songs and releasing albums ever since Whistle Test filmed him singing ‘Religious Persuasion’ on the roof of the highest building in Belfast in 1985. His debut album ‘Rave on Andy White’ took reviewers’ breath away, and over the years Andy has built up a remarkable collection of songs including James Joyce’s Grave, Street Scenes From My Heart, Italian Girls on Mopeds, and the era-defining The Guilty and the Innocent, while working and touring with the likes of Sinéad O'Connor and Billy Bragg, writing with Peter Gabriel, Allison Russell, and Neil and Tim Finn.

Tim introduced Andy to Australia when the two chums were in ALT with Liam Ó Maonlaí, and Andy moved to Melbourne shortly afterwards. The ALT album Altitude was reissued in 2021 and a new collaborative writing project with Tim resulted in the album AT, released this year by Floating World.
