Andy Garrett's interest in music began at age 9 when he won a school competition to conduct the Battle Creek Symphony Orchestra. He then took up the guitar at age 10, wrote/copyrighted his first song at age 13, and began teaching professionally at age 16 for the Palmer School of Music. He helped his highschool music ensemble win a first place trophy in a regional competition at age 17, and he then began playing live in various locally formed bands. At age 22 he then wrote, recorded, and produced his first EP with the band Horizon (featuring Jeff Roberts on drums, Floyd Pollock on vocals, and Paul Blanton on bass). Shortly after this, Andy landed a job at a major guitar-string company (Dean Markley/American Winding) as their exclusive string-tester/head of Quality control, which landed him in Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine. He also got a degree as an Honor Graduate in Recording Engineering through AIA and started an independent record label called GBM RECORDS with his brother, Jeff Garrett, in 1994 to release promo tapes and CD-R's of his music throughout the world. Today; Andy lives just outside of Nashville, TN....and his music (over 800 songs) is available worldwide on all digital outlets. He was 1st Place Winner for "Best Jazz Song" Fall 2025; and finalist in the Fall 2024, Winter 2025, Spring 2025, Summer 2025, and Fall 2025 "World Songwriter Awards" for "Best Rock Song", and you can currently hear his music now on <a href="spotify:playlist:1snGTV6MViwZPChV5bx9fc" data-name="Mij Sugen's Music">Mij Sugen's Music</a>
