Andrew Scott Wills 'Solo Writes'

At 10-years old Andy Wills tuned his radio to the local oldies station and was instantly mesmerized by the powerful melodies and clever use of words from Elvis, Elton John, Bob Seger, The Birds, Ricky Nelson, Eagles, and the Beatles.  

Into his teens, he began writing down lyrics and putting them to chords, but it wasn't until years later, after graduating, getting married and working in the backpacking industry for 4 years when he would answer the calling in his heart. In December of 2008 he made the decision to plan a trip to Nashville and withing a year, he scored a Top 10 Christian Country hit when Johnny Jolin recorded his song "Thank God." Soon afterwards, he and his family made the move from Ohio to Nashville to pursue music full time. Since then he has over 100 songs recorded by artists such as Jerrod Niemann, Stephanie Quayle, Shotgun Rider, and Lucas Hoge.  
​
In 2017, he decided to write some songs for himself and the result is his 5-song EP, Build A Wall. With a firm footing in Americana the brief set features opener "Build A Wall" (if you can relate, you'll cry) which, via a comforting roots-melody and Wills' familiar, warm vocals, confronts the tendency to put a guard around one's heart. That's followed by four more tracks including the autobiographical "615", the sweetly romantic toe-tapper "Born For Ya", the nostalgic "Nike High Tops" and "Someday," a strikingly tender ballad, that go down easy.
