Andrew ROACHFORD is one of Britain’s most distinguished R&B musicians. Growing up in London and influenced by the sound of Curtis Mayfield, Al Green, Reggae and Jazz, this influence was soon to mold his very own blend of the above styles. “If you keep your ears open, cultural variety keeps you from musical small-
Andrew ROACHFORD (38), whose ancestors originate from the West Indies, was raised in a family of musicians. At the tender age of seven, his musical curiosity was aroused. "There was always a piano in the house and I just got up and started playing even though I’d never played before. There was something quite surreal and magical about it." In the early Eighties, Andrew regularly accompanied his uncle Bill Roachford to his performances. Bill Roachford was a well-
In 1986, he founded the band ROACHFORD in London. The band soon gained a loyal following playing a mixture of funk, soul and melodious rock. In 1988, the debut album “Roachford” was released and reached gold status almost immediately. The up-
Although ROACHFORD never championed pigeonholing, he once tried to define his sound. But the release of “From Now On” (2001) showed him that his definitions had to be revised. He will always be a versatile musician with body and soul. Regardless in which direction he produces and which style might be predominating, his technique and his feeling for the music is always excellent. This was also proven by his last album “Heart of the Matter” (2003).
In 2004 German music mastermind Mousse T. teamed up with Andrew to write the Top Twenty smash “Pop Muzak” intended for Mousse T’s “All Nite Madness” album. The fact that the co-

Heart of The Matter
Roachford
Soul man, musician and poet – Andrew Roachford has become many things to many people, but no matter what category you put him in, he’ll always find someway of getting out of it. Never allowing himself to be pigeon holed, Roachford’s previous album ‘Heart of the Matter’ explores yet another musical avenue.
In 2003 Andrew Roachford returned with an album which heralds a marked change in musical direction and one that will surprise many. Released on M3 records, a record label set up by Andrew with his management, the self written and produced ‘Heart Of The Matter’ perfectly showcases Andrew’s talents as a jazz and classically trained pianist, consummate soul vocalist and producer as well as the songwriting prowess that has been well documented by critics, fans and fellow artists.
The new sound of Andrew Roachford has resulted in an album that has the energy and impact of a debut piece of work. This beautifully crafted album is a perfect mixture of upbeat soulful tracks as well as jazzy laidback tunes. Its smooth production allows Roachford to display his superb vocals at its simplest and best, particularly evident in tracks such as ‘Walk On’ ; ‘The Music’ and 'The Pressure".
