As a pivotal member of DaddyTV, Andrew has composed theme songs and scored hundreds of episodes for OUTtv’s varied lineup, including standout series like Hot Haus with Tiffany Pollard, Iconic Justice featuring Willam Belli, Slag Wars with The Cock Destroyers, and For The Love of DILFS hosted by Stormy Daniels.
