Andrew White is a troubadour. He is one of those rare artists who can skilfully combine brilliant finger-style guitar work with a compelling story in lyric and deliver them both in an engaging live performance. 

Andrew started his career busking on the streets of Auckland, New Zealand.

In 1984 he released his debut, self-produced album, Conversations, a collection of introspective acoustic guitar tunes recorded with a minimalistic production approach. This haunting album was immediately signed by Narada Records in the US and garnered worldwide distribution. Narada then released Island, an instrumental collaboration with Grammy-nominated artist David Arkenstone, which reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Charts.
