A multi-talented person, not only is he a musician but an actor as well. Andy discusses how he has gone about creating his first album release and crucially, the online tools and methods that he is and is going to use to promote the release. It's a really great interview which uncovers a lot of golden nuggets for anyone interested in promoting their own music on and off-line.

Musician’s Moving Online 2 – Singer Songwriter Andy Squires Album Launch

Andy Squires singer songwriter

Andy Squires is not unlike many other musicians out there. He is a singer/songwriter; which is a very crowded market. Perhaps the difference between Andy and all the millions of other singer/songwriters out there is that he has a plan for the on and off-line promotion of his soon to be released album. He’s done the research and now he’s putting the plan into action. A fascinating interview ensues in which he not only shares the tools and resources he will be using to launch his album, but also agrees to come back and share the results with GMI in around nine months time!
