Under the artistic alias Factor Eight, Andrew is a multi-disciplinary, award-winning experimental artist from Saskatoon who creates cinematic soundscapes using only his voice. His work centres on mental health advocacy, embodied in his philosophy “Fear, My Friend” — accepting and transforming challenging aspects of oneself into sources of creative power rather than suppressing them.
His unique approach toward music has earned significant recognition, including awards, editorial playlist adds, and notable sync placements. With years of experience in commercial landscapes, Factor Eight music has been heard in productions and trailers from major studios such as Paramount, Disney+, A24, MGM, and Apple TV, with credits including Gladiator II and the Oscar-winning Women Talking.
Native Instruments describes his practice as “more than a technical decision […] a personal method built around trust in his own instincts, careful attention to detail, and a long-term vision that ties his music and message together.”
A three-time Saskatchewan Music Award winner and Western Canadian Music Award recipient, Andrew’s work extends beyond music into dance choreography, performance art, and interdisciplinary installation. Through Factor Eight, he connects with audiences across the globe, hoping to inspire connection among those who struggle and a sense of compassion among those who struggle to relate.
