At the age of 12, Andrew was hit with the drumming bug after a "2 week rebirth" into the world of rock n´ roll when he first heard John Bonham’s work on Led Zepp´s legendary "Achilles Last Stand". “I couldn’t put the CD down” exclaims Andrew, “I would get home from school and ritualistically I had to listen to that song at least 3 times a day and after about 2 weeks of this, my parents lives would change for the “worse” when I said ‘I wanna be a drummer’!”. Andrew was taught his craft at his local church and at the age of 15 won a special award for Best Drummer at one of South Africa´s biggest music competitions. Along with brother Russell Spence (vocals, guitars), Starseed was formed in January 2000 and the band relocated to London (UK) in 2001.
