Andrew Roachford - The Beautiful Moment (2013)

From the moment that Andrew Roachford found himself sitting at a piano aged four, music has been his way of making sense of the world. Growing-up in London around a vibrant melting pot culture, he was like a sponge absorbing diverse musical influences from reggae and punk, to rock, Jazz and soul music. Andrew's trademark has become his rare ability to put into words, feelings you didn't even know you had, “It's one of the reasons why I make music; to bring out those things that people feel, but haven't always got a voice for. I like to bring the inner person to the forefront”. And over the year's, anthems like 'Only To Be With You', 'The Way I feel' and 'Complicated' to name but a few have done just that. “I'm always pushing myself as an artist. When it comes to songwriting, I naturally gravitate to digging deep. That's how it works for me”. With Platinum and Gold selling albums, a career that spans two decades, ever since busting onto the scene with his first hit song 'Cuddly Toy' and the last five years seeing him writing and singing on everything from top-five selling international dance tracks to co-writing and touring with Mike and the Mechanics, Andrew is undeniably a prolific and unique talent. In The Beautiful Moment Andrew delivers a deeply honest and powerful album. He is back doing what he does best – taking the daily challenges of life and love and helping the rest of us make sense of it all. “You start off being what you're not in life and then the path has this uncanny way of bringing you back to who you really are. Life is really just a journey back home”.
