One of my favorite people and musicians in Los Angeles just signed a record deal with S-Curve. SO, congratulations Andy Grammer!

I have known Andy for a few years; we met because we are both Baha’is. I fell in love with this friend because he is one of the kindest, funniest, and most sincere people I know. I fell in love with his music because nothing else moves me the same way or makes me as happy. So, I couldn’t be more thrilled for him about his new success. I have no doubt that his music will be playing all over the radio waves in the coming months. If you don’t believe me, give it a listen yourself: www.myspace.com/andygrammer.

As a thank you to his local fans, Andy played at the legendary Roxy Theater (The Roxy) tonight located on the famous Sunset Strip. Andy played a full set of songs off of his upcoming CD and was accompanied by a full band including an entire horns section. Andy is originally from New York, so it’s no wonder that the final selection of the night was Andy’s original, The Pocket mixed with a titillating rendition of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ Empire State of Mind; the melodic mix coupled with the raw emotions that only a true New Yorker can deliver, left the entire crowd not only begging for an encore, but with goosebumps as well, each the size of the Big Apple. The capacity crowd included fans of all ages including hundreds of screaming teenage girls. If the energy in that club tonight is any indication, Andy’s music will be rocking all the way to the top of the charts in the imminent future. Keep a look out for his single Keep Your Head Up to hit your local radio stations soon. You can hear that song now on Andy’s MySpace page–a song which has already had over 131,000 plays prior to its official release!! Way to go Andy. We are all so proud of you.
