Andrew Jannakos is a Country Music Singer/Songwriter signed to Sony Music and Spirit Music Publishing Nashville. Andrew joins Country Music Made Me to discuss the influence his family had on developing his love for music, including his Grandpa who was a Bluegrass Player and bought Andrew his first guitar. Andrew and Brendan talk about the song lyrics that first caught his attention, what it's meant to create music that builds emotion within the listener, just like songs did for him growing up, and what it's meant to have fans convey that emotion back to him. Andrew details the moments along his journey that have led him to a career in music, most importantly the moment he met the two people who would save his life, his wife and son, and where he would be without them. Finally, Andrew talks about his time on The Voice, what gave him the confidence to perform during the blind auditions, even though he'd never performed in front of anyone as a solo artist, and the drive and determination he has to make music a career and provide a comfortable life for his family.
