Andrue Mars
a n d r u e m a r s
Andrue Mars (andruemars) is a singer, songwriter, musician, producer, artist, and stylist from California, currently based in Boise, Idaho. Melding genres to channel different moods of a generation rising during the fall of fascist capitalism, Mars’ music is a swift kick to the face that leaves an impression with a kiss and a wink. With the success of early single “sunset blvd.” Andrue has proven he is ready to take the world by storm with his signature blend of dance pop and soulful indie R&B.
“I just want to make funky bangers you can bop, vibe and jive with. Mainly I just want to do my passion and have fun in the process, hopefully people who listen to my music do too.” - andruemars
Citing Steve Lacy as a hero (in part for winning a Grammy from a song he produced on his iPhone in GarageBand as a teenager, the topic of a now famous TED Talk by Lacy) andruemars is a completely self-produced artist who has been making music since his teens, now doing everything himself in Logic Pro and also making his own artwork. According to Andrue, some of his musical inspiration comes from jazz legend Amy Whinehouse, neo-soul artists Hiatus Kaiyote and Ari Lennox, as well as indie pop musicians like Omar Apollo and Remi Wolf.
Traces of new-wave and post-punk also appear in Andrue’s alchemical brew, with some tracks digging deep like MorMor, others can feel breezy and light, like the funky Jamiroquai-flavored “big fish” or the playful dancefloor jams “TOO LATE” and “2.4ever.” The beautiful element linking all this diverse music is Andrue’s immaculate taste, guitar, synths, and smooth as silk voice, as he effortlessly switching tones, octaves, and registers to create a cocoon of comfort riding the waves of aural bliss his music delivers to listeners.
With more singles on the way following his “take it or leave it EP” – Mars is prepping his first full-length album. Don’t miss your chance to support an artist before they become a worldwide household name, because make no mistake, andruemars is shooting for the moon; and he’s already among the stars.
