Andrew Wyatt

Andrew Wyatt is the kind of musician I instinctively respect, equally at home in front of the mic and behind the board. Manhattan-raised, he came up in scrappy New York bands before fronting Sweden's Miike Snow on their acclaimed 2009 debut. But his 2019 Academy Award for Shallow is what really earns my admiration; that song does not just deliver a melody, it scores the exact moment two people close the distance between them. Few writers can headline a project and still quietly craft other artists' signature songs. I hear a true craftsman shaped by late nights in Manhattan.
