Andy Quotes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“What a lot of people don’t know about me is that despite my sometimes confident and strong exterior, on the road performing at event after event, I have had to manage anxiety and self-doubt my entire life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Heavy On Me is an empowering song about removing the stigma and shame around mental health and the importance of asking for help and acknowledging when you’re down.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
