Andrew Gialanella, a self-taught guitarist, discovered his passion for music at age twelve when he started playing his family's guitars. Music became his safe haven for self-expression, especially as an introverted person.

After graduating from the University of Georgia and choosing sobriety, Gialanella transformed his musical journey. He shifted from live performances to recording and production, creating instrumental guitar music that evolved into peaceful, melody-focused compositions.

His creative process is spontaneous and therapeutic, often starting with guitar "noodling" that he immediately records and develops in the studio. This improvisation stems from his experience as a live performer, creating music that serves as a comforting companion for listeners.

Gialanella's music gained significant attention when his song "Another Year" went viral in early 2023 and 2024. Listeners have shared how his music accompanies their daily activities and helps them through difficult times, serving as a calming presence during stress and anxiety.

Despite his electric guitar background, Gialanella gravitates toward acoustic guitar's organic, earthy sound. Nature heavily influences his music and visual content, drawing inspiration from outdoor settings like sitting under trees on sunny days.

Mental health and wellness are central themes in Gialanella's work. He aims to create an ecosystem of conversation around wellness, mindfulness, and self-care through his music, spreading a message of hope and positivity.

As an independent artist with Downtown Music, Gialanella values maintaining control over his artistic direction and master recordings. He appreciates Downtown's understanding of how different music genres perform across various platforms and their expertise in promoting and pitching unique musical styles.

His journey continues to evolve both artistically and personally, embodying his belief that "the only constant in life is change."
