Andrew Belle

"echoes of indie-folk, splashes of electro-pop, and a solid foundation of intelligent songcraft" - American Songwriter Andrew Belle writes songs by feel. The composition comes first, then the melody follows. Only after Belle has an internal reaction to the composition do the lyrics finally come. Finding the right words to express what has always been there but is only now being fully realized.
