Andrew Weaver

Andrew Weaver is a 23-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer from Bremen, Georgia, a small town where he learned how to make music that sounds like nowhere else.

He started writing songs at 13. At 15, he ended up on American Idol, singing his way to a golden ticket and a momentary taste of the national stage. A year later, he signed with Playbook MGMT, racked up over 500,000 streams off a string of early pop songs, and found himself tucked into sessions with some of Atlanta’s most forward-thinking artists and producers, including Nappy Roots and Earthgang. It was in those rooms, bouncing between samples and synths, that he started to really understand how records are built.

Then everything slowed down. He stepped away from releasing music for a few years, attended college, lived a little, and unlearned the industry's formulas. When he came back, it wasn’t to chase trends. It was to make something that actually sounded like him.

His upcoming full-length album, “contrary to popular belief”, is entirely self-written, self-produced, and self-mixed, recorded on a 2020 MacBook in a bedroom that doubles as a vocal booth. It’s messy in the right way, sharp, clever, and unfiltered like flipping through a scrapbook where every photo has static in the background. It leans into alternative and indie but never quite stays still. Equal parts Southern melancholy, punchline, and late-night voice memo.

Andrew Weaver isn’t trying to be everywhere. He’s just trying to be honest.
