Andrew is a deputy editor on the digital side of Billboard, specializing in staff projects, pop music history and the charts. He previously served as a full-time writer and editor at SPIN and Popdust in the 2010s, and his work has also appeared in Stereogum and GQ. He wrote Olivia Rodrigo’s first cover story for Billboard and has also profiled artists ranging from 2020s alt-folk superstar Noah Kahan to ‘90s alt-rockers Splendora, the band who recorded the Daria theme. He’s also written part-time about his much-beloved (and much-hated) Philadelphia 76ers since 2009.
He has lived in New York since 2004, when he began attending New York University as an undergrad, graduating with a double major in journalism and English. In 2007, he was one of three winners on season two of VH1’s trivia game show 'The World Series of Pop Culture,' and in 2021, the guy from Eve 6 quote-tweeted him in agreement with his choice for the best Pixies album. He loves lists and Dr Pepper, hates defining or dismissing artists by the audiences who listen to them (and shredded lettuce), and thinks car horns should only be heard in disco records.
