LA-born and bred, Ando San has spent his career to date carving out his own lane, fusing introspective hip-hop with intricate progressive metal guitar work. A rapper, producer and accomplished guitarist, his music draws on everything from jazzy boom-bap to instrumental math rock, resulting in a sound that's as technically ambitious as it is emotionally honest.
Today, he releases his new single, "March For Me", on Sumerian Records. The track follows his recent first release for the label, in the form of double A-side, "Hype Man" / "Triggas".
"March For Me is a reclamation song for me,” he explains. “It's about me rising to where I need to be, and my destiny as an artist to grow and be truthfully and authentically myself. I was really inspired by Tyler, The Creator album ‘Chromakopia’; the whole album has this militant feel to it, and I wanted to embrace that feeling of power and authority.”
"March For Me" was also recently announced as part of the soundtrack for ESPN’s College Football coverage for the season.
Having just (last night) finished his first UK tour supporting Don Broco, Ando San will perform a debut London headliner tomorrow evening, before heading back to the US to hit the road with Periphery.
