MAke Your Own Rules
A USA Today Bestseller!
In Make Your Own Rules, Andrew shares stories from his two decades as a music industry misfit as well as concrete takeaways for any creator on finding your voice, building an audience, and making money doing what you love.
You’ll learn how he became an early adopter of sharing his work online, growing an organic following before social media existed, and eventually leveraging those platforms to amass millions of song streams and video views. And how, by doing things his own creative way, he found revenue streams for himself that hadn’t previously existed. His unique perspective can help you find success as well.
