SINGER/SONGWRITER DUO, ANDREWVICTORIA SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE ON CANADA'S GOT TALENT -
What’s it like to audition for Canada’s Got Talent, get 3 yeses, not a single criticism, lots of praise from the judges and still not be selected for the TV semi-final? Bitter? Disappointed? Vengeful? Not if you’re a talented singer/songwriter duo like AndrewVictoria! Quitters never win and winners never quit. NEXT?

2011 is turning out to be a great year for Canadian/Australian singer/songwriting duo, AndrewVictoria. They continue to garner award after award for their excellent songwriting skills, the latest recognition being 1st runners up in ACOUSTIC ROUNDTABLE’S Songwriter of the Year 2011 contest for their beautiful song, “Repeat Yesterday” which had only a couple of months before taken out first place in the H24 Songwriting Challenge. If you haven’t yet downloaded a FREE mp3 of this acoustic love song, visit their YouTube site for a link.
And in the midst of all that, AndrewVictoria received the news that they are amongst the first 5 qualifiers of sessions 1 & 2 in the TORONTO INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS HOME & NATIVE SOUND SERIES. You can listen to songs by the other qualifiers at this FACEBOOK BAND PAGE. Some very worthy competition indeed. Below is video taken at the actual competition. AndrewVictoria perform their lovely song, “FALL”:
Most recently, AndrewVictoria are thrilled to have had a full page feature in the American Federation of Musicians magazine, INTERNATIONAL MUSICIAN. This is an excellent write-up and reasonably accurate, which is so often not the case. If you’d like to read that, just click the link.
And latest news is that this deserving singer/songwriter duo have been nominated for a HAMILTON MUSIC AWARD for the BEST POP RECORDING in 2010. This was an unexpected nomination and not one they had submitted for themselves. So it’s come as a nice surprise. They find out on November 20th if they have been successful.
Successful or not, 2011 has been a good year so far for this new singer/songwriter duo. We wish them continued success throughout 2012.

Catch up with Canadian award-winning singer/songwriter duo, AndrewVictoria .. in their own words! They’ve been busy busy busy!
Shows like American Idol, Xfactor and Karaoke Battle USA are proving there’s a wealth of fabulous undiscovered singers and musicians out there. But how many of them write their own material, work the stage like they were born to it, and can sell originals to audiences who line up after a show for an autograph on a simple home-produced acoustic CD?
That’s the magic of singer/songwriter duo, AndrewVictoria who have been stacking up the honors for their songwriting since February 2011 when they won “Songwriter of the Month” at SONGWRITER’S UNIVERSE for their original, “It’s Not Over”. A month or two later, they took out 2nd place in New York’s CLASH OF THE ARTISTS songwriting division for 3 more songs.
This was followed in June by a fabulous win in their own hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, when they took home “the DEVA” and a cash prize for their gorgeous song “REPEAT YESTERDAY” in the H24 Songwriting Challenge. That contest was indeed a challenge to all who entered: contestants were given 24 hours to come up with an original song that adhered to 3 strict criteria. They then had to perform it for a live audience 24 hours later. You can read the details and see a video of the events while listening to the song itself at AndrewVictoria’s YouTube site. Incidentally, AndrewVictoria also provide a link there for a FREE DOWNLOAD of this beautiful love-song, “Repeat Yesterday”.
But that’s not all: it’s just been announced that AndrewVictoria were finalists receiving a score of 9/10 once again for the song “It’s Not Over” in the worldwide and renowned UK SONGWRITING CONTEST. They also made the semi-finals with 2 others of their originals.
While it’s wonderful to have a fantastic voice (and Victoria certainly has that) or to weave magic on a guitar as Andrew does so well, recognition for excellent songwriting raises an artist or in this case, a duo, to another level. These two talented artists have always lit up a stage with their performances and presence, but now they are excelling in what is possibly an even tougher arena: songwriting. They recently shared the stage at a local fundraiser with the well-known fellow Canadian singer/songwriter duo, Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet (now known as WHITEHORSE). Without a doubt,AndrewVictoria proved to all who saw and heard them that this is where they deserved to be.
AndrewVictoria were also very recently selected to perform in IMAGEFM’s Indie Music Showcase Concert Series. You can watch the 4-video concert of AndrewVictoria HERE but you can’t access it in Safari 5. Use Firefox, Explorer or Chrome to watch the video. The third song in the set is that award-winning “It’s Not Over”. Well that’s for sure: it’s far from over for AndrewVictoria … a triple threat and a triple treat!
