Hey,

Hoping u all have had a nice start of the new year! Once again a warm welcome to all the new students. My year started off nicely with 3 songs placed on the new SHINee album in Japan (Wishful Thinking, Sweet Surprise & Sing your Song) which did Nr 1 over there on the weekly chart. On the first two songs I also play quite a lot of guitar including jazzy solos :)

Currently I'm up in Aspen, Colorado doing a "GUITAR SUMMIT-Trio Concert " together with my friends Kruno Spisic and Ted Gottsegen. We'll be performing 2 shows tonight and tomorrow night. This is one of a few selected performances I will do this year, will be a lot of fun!

So check it out if u're nearby, it will be a mix of standards, django-songs and some of my own pop compositions.

Here's a quick interview the Aspen Times did with me over the phone the other day:

Hey,

Very happy to have co-written the Christmas single "Dear Santa" for Girls' Generation-TTS (Taeyon, Tiffany & Seohyun), one of the most populat acts in South Korea.

They song is like a medley with many different parts and with a couple of jazzy chord progressions. It starts like a ballad and then goes into a faster tempo.

This song made an "all-kill" on the day of the release which means Nr1 placements on all the 8 real time/streaming charts in Korea. The mini-album "Dear Santa" also made it to Nr1 in 9 countries on itunes.

SM Entertainment released two versions of this song, in Korean and in English. Check it out!

Hey all,

I'm currently in Denmark at a writing camp, creating new songs together with fellow songwriters from all over Europe. I enjoy these song camps, where labels and publishers invite writers, presenting new leads for the artists. Then the writers are working intensly for a few days trying to deliver hit songs. This specific camp is aiming at the artists in Korea and Japan, a market that I've been fortunate to work with during the last couple of years. This past week I had two songs released with Korean boybands B1A4 and A-Peace. Also I few big singles I've been part of writing are coming out in Asia in December. I'm always happy to write songs in different styles, everything from jazz to K-pop.

After a long period of writing I had the pleasure of doing a clinic in Amsterdam for the Guitar Academy as shown on the pic below. It was a pleasure talking and playing for/with the talented students. After that I made a quick stop in Germany at a Guitar festival near Freiburg. Since I don't do that many performances these days it's fun to do come out from the studio and play at times :)

Have a great weekend!

Regards Andreas
