Iain Andrew

Based in Dublin, Ireland, Iain Andrew is a folk singer who lays bare his soul through his honest and candid songwriting. On his newly released debut album, ‘I Poured Myself Into You’, Iain weaves delicate folk and alternative rock with personal reflections and poetry, depicting the light and dark of the human experience. He utilises heavy symbolism and metaphors to capture the listener over a bed of driving instrumentation.

Though he’s been playing music since age 12, it wasn’t until 2019 that Iain found his voice with his debut EP ‘everything is waiting for you’, containing 2 lofi folk songs recorded on an old Tascam cassette portastudio from the 80s. This was followed by ‘i can’t get hurt if i’m alone’, another lofi EP which garnered some modest success, with the title track reaching over 80,000 streams. In this earlier work, Iain took a DIY approach, recording alone in his Dublin city apartment to cassette tape. With his latest work, however, long-time friend and audio engineer Peter Ashmore took the reins at Hellfire Studios in the Dublin mountains, co-producing, engineering, and mixing, as well as playing drums.
