MINNEAPOLIS POP ARTIST ANDREW THOMAS ' LATEST VISUAL' “LIQUOR TALKIN”

Minneapolis pop artist Andrew Thomas's latest visual “Liquor Talkin” is full of mannequins, alcohol, and mystique. So what does it all mean? As with most of Andrew’s work, the audience is left to draw their own conclusion. It’s catchy, honest, and thought-provoking. “Liquor Talkin” is Andrew’s most ambitious release to date. Andrew Thomas is a man of many musical hats. He’s an American singer, songwriter, and music producer. Hailing from a Native American reservation in Shakopee, Minnesota, his love for music began as early as 8 years old, where Thomas began playing the piano. His humble beginnings as a pianist evolved into the role of a music producer in his early career. After being the brains behind many burgeoning regional talents, including MN Fats and J Plaza, Thomas transitioned into a solo pop act.

Known for his melodic, hook-heavy production and relatable videos, Thomas brings a powerful touch of humanity to his music. Andrew produces his own music and has worked with legendary names such as Snoop Dogg and Waka Flocka. Driven by gorgeous melodies and catchy grooves, songs like “White Lies” and “Fly Away” resonate on both euphonic and sociological levels. Andrew is not afraid to tackle personal, polarizing, and sometimes self-deprecating topics with authenticity, heart, and a little humility. (i.e., digging at social paradigms by dawning a fat suit in “(We Can’t All Be Perfect) Like You” or transforming himself into an old man for “Sugar Baby, feat. Daddy Dinero.”

Working with several different influences, styles, and skill sets, Andrew combines heartfelt and honest songwriting with world-class production – a combination that creates a genuine connection with his audience.
