Country music singer and songwriter Andy Gibson was born September 15, 1981 in Spokane, Washington. He grew up in a household surrounded by music (his father, John Gibson, wrote the theme song for the classic surfing film Endless Summer, and later signed a deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22RCA+Records%22">RCA Records</a>), and was playing guitar by the time he was nine years old, by which time he had relocated with his family to Las Vegas. He formed a band, Missing in Action, at the age of 12, and was the group's lead guitarist. Gibson had also started writing his own songs and began tracking them on a multi-track recorder his father had given him. Graduating early from high school, Gibson headed to Nashville, where he worked as a demo singer and, since he knew and could sing in Spanish, as a singer in Spanish restaurants, which is where <a href="spotify:artist:51THHWH97iA2ISvNxUn6Gs">John Rich</a> heard Gibson and signed him to write songs for <a href="spotify:artist:51THHWH97iA2ISvNxUn6Gs">Rich</a>'s song publishing company. Gibson wrote some 150 songs in a year for <a href="spotify:artist:51THHWH97iA2ISvNxUn6Gs">Rich</a>'s firm, and one of them, "Don't You Want to Stay," co-written with Paul Jenkins and <a href="spotify:artist:5TRj3DqC4pcZaTIGFq99Bg">Jason Sellers</a>, hit the top of the country charts in 2011 in a duet version by <a href="spotify:artist:3FfvYsEGaIb52QPXhg4DcH">Jason Aldean</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3BmGtnKgCSGYIUhmivXKWX">Kelly Clarkson</a>, which in turn brought Gibson a recording deal. He began working on a debut album. A single from the project, the James Stroud-produced "Wanna Make You Love Me," a song that ironically Gibson did not write, appeared in 2011. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
