Andrew Stewart was born in Toronto, Canada 1980.  His musical career began at the tender age of 3 when he learned to play drums in church where he grew up. Inspired by his father (musician), Andrew fell in love with the inspirational soulful gospel and rhythm & blues music of the day. At 6 years old, with the guidance of his father, Andrew learned to play guitar and bass. By the time he was 8 he was copying bass lines and guitar licks he heard in church, on television, radio and from records.

Gifted in various artistic disciplines, Andrew combined his love of music, drawing and wood working to design and build his own electric bass guitars in 1995. And has been building and designing custom bass guitars ever since.

 Influenced by great bass players such as Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, and Victor Wooten, Andrew decided to attend the internationally acclaimed jazz program  at Humber College in 2000.  There he studied with bassist Lenny Boyd and Even Tarleton. After a few semesters with the encouragement from his teachers and his peers he thought it was time to leave school and pursue music full time.

Since then Andrew has played in the studio and on stage with Salome Bey, Liberty Silver, Eddie Bullen, Michael Stuart, Robert Botosh, Robert Greenidge, Kalabash, Pieces of a dream and many others. He even appeared on the television series soulfood with Musiq Soulchild.

Andrew’s feel and ability to adapt to any musical situation make him an outstanding musician and a much in demand bass player.
