EspañolANDY STURMER
'Andy Sturmer' is an American-born musical artist, writer and producer. He was a member of the band Jellyfish from 1990-1994. Prior to that, he was a member of Beatnik Beatch (1987-88).
Jellyfish released two albums, ''Bellybutton (1990)'' and ''Spilt Milk'' (1993). Sturmer held the rare distinction of being a drummer who regularly sang lead in a rock group, a specialty shared by the likes of Ringo Starr, Levon Helm, Don Henley, Peter Criss, Phil Collins, and Micky Dolenz.[1] He was even more unusual in that when playing live he had a stand-up drumset at the front of the stage instead of sitting on a throne at the rear of the band. However, the band failed to catch fire commercially, and intragroup friction led to Jellyfish's dissolution in early 1994.
After Jellyfish's demise, Sturmer began a new career as a producer and writer, most notably for the Japanese pop band Puffy AmiYumi. He was consulting producer for their TV show ''Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi'' and composed the score music for the show. He has also composed the theme songs for ''Teen Titans'', the third season of ''The Batman'' animated series and the popular sci-fi action animated series, ''Ben 10''. [2]
Sturmer has also appeared on various albums for back up vocals for artist like Bleu's ''Redhead'', Mandy Moore's ''Coverage'' and Switchfoot's ''Nothing is Sound''.
Sturmer performed on two songs on the first solo album by Katey Sagal, who is best known for her role as Peg Bundy on the sitcom ''Married... with Children''. The album, entitled ''Well...'' was released by Virgin Records in April 1994. Andy also co-wrote and played drums for Swedish pop band The Merrymakers' second album, ''Bubblegun''.
Andy has recently surfaced as a collaborator with L.E.O., a one-off supergroup also featuring, among others, pop auteur Bleu, Hanson, producer John Fields and Mike Viola of The Candy Butchers. The group and its album, Alpacas Orgling, are a pastiche tribute to the style of Electric Light Orchestra[3]
