Raised by Polar Bears

My real name is Andrew, I grew up in St Andrew's, Scotland.

My mum was a Primary School Teacher and my dad was an Aircraft Technician which had a huge impact on my thinking growing up...

I've always had a wild imagination... As a kid I was forever taking things apart and turning the parts into something new... building vehicles or gadgets out of junk, concocting

recipes in the kitchen or designing strange machines, games and cartoon characters.

I discovered I had an ear for music when my class were tested one day in school. I went on to study violin for a few yearsAround age 14 I started learning guitar and began to explore writing music and lyrics.

I absolutely thrive on variety! ...I've studied Teaching; Nature Conservation; Adventure Tourism and Business so far, and I make time each week to learn. I've also worked in a whole range of different environments from call centres & retail to professional kitchens. I love absorbing ideas from different experiences to add to my toolkit.

Now my day job is in Local Government. I'm known for being a creative problem solver so I often switch roles to support different teams or projects. I've helped in many business areas and I'm regularly involved in planning projects, research, data analysis, developing strategies and designing communications.

I’ve been lucky to have lots of opportunities to combine my business brain with my creativity – it’s here where I learned to produce my first films & animations as well as designing branding & infographics.

Creatively (as AJ) I mostly share music and short films online, but I enjoy all kinds of creative challenges and I've worked with lots of brilliant people to solve some very interesting pickles...

In essence, I'm all about learning, experimenting and encouraging people to see things differently.
