Update - Writing New Music and New Trance Release

Hey Everyone,

I know it has been a while, so here's a little something from me.

I'm currently working on a project - which I've been for a while now - and that is writing music for my live set. For the upcoming months, I plan to rearrange some old songs and compose a lot of new ones. In the end, my live set should have well over two hours of solid music. So in turn, I've decided to put off playing live for a little while until I have all of the music done. I will be performing a lot more often when the time comes, which may be early to mid next year.

Meanwhile, please check out a couple of my new songs that are now posted on my YouTube channel. One is called, "Spirit of Nature", and the other is called, "Serenity": http://www.youtube.com/kellyandrewofficial

I'm also currently wrapping up an uplifting trance release, "Soaring Skyward" (working title), for 2012 that will have 4 tracks: (1) Intro Mix; (2) Original Mix; (3) Orchestral Mix; (4) Club Mix. It will feature a wonderful melody from a dream I had late 2010 blown into a full cinematic orchestration. The label is yet to be determined, so I hope to post a portion of the Intro mix shortly.

This is truly an exciting time. I plan to have more updates when things get rolling again or will post if something happens between now and then.

Thanks for sticking around and I will have more soon.

"Conquest (feat. Marc Levine)" - Hollywood Music In Media Award Nominee 2011

My soon to be released single, "Conquest (feat. Marc Levine)" has been nominated for the 2011 Hollywood Music In Media Award (HMMA) under the Classical/Orchestral category.


This year's Awards Event will take place on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at the Highlands in the Kodak Theater Complex in Hollywood, California.

A little background about HMMA: The event recognizes and honors the music of visual mediums, the talented individuals responsible for creating and selecting it, and the music of both mainstream and independent artists from around the globe. HMMA is the first music awards event to recognize and honor excellence in music supervision and to place video games along side TV and film in terms of importance. Iconic artists will also be presented with a variety of awards, including an award for Outstanding Career Achievement in honor of their accomplishments and longevity in the entertainment field. The evening features live music performances, celebrity appearances, award presentations, an exclusive VIP reception, and a banquet dinner. The entire event will be shot with multiple HD cameras for digital and cable broadcasts in 17 countries and U.S. territories (120 Million households).

It's been a blessing to receive this nomination. Please send me your wishes and good luck charms as I will continue to cross my fingers to hopefully win in the Classical/Orchestral category!
