" While you may not have heard of Andrew Belle just yet, chances are you&amp;#039;ve definitely already heard him. How can this be you ask? Well, in the past year the man&amp;#039;s tunes have been featured on just about every single major TV show there is. At only 25, a completely unsigned Mr. Belle has had his self-penned hits placed in Greys Anatomy, One Tree Hill, 90210 and most recently ABC family&amp;#039;s breakout summer hit (and one of CG&amp;#039;s top TV picks!) Pretty Little Liars. &amp;quot;All the Television exposure this year has been incredibly helpful,&amp;quot; says Belle. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m out on the road with my band right now and it seems like every night at least a handful of people come up and say they came because they heard me on TV; it&amp;#039;s extremely flattering!&amp;quot; But it&amp;#039;s not just TV placement success that sets Belle apart. Though still completely unsigned, Andrew can brag that he&amp;#039;s already earned significant chart time on the famed Billboard charts (#21 on the heatseekers chart to be exact!), which by industry standards is a massive feat for any artist signed or not. So what is it exactly that has helped Andrew find his way onto the charts? No, it wasn&amp;#039;t his own reality TV show or outrageous music video. In fact, the answer is as simple as it gets: his songs. While there exists a plethora of lovely singer-songwriter type music, it&amp;#039;s the authenticity of Andrew&amp;#039;s melodies and lyrics which has the industry taking note and fans clamoring to see him on tour. &amp;quot;It isn&amp;#039;t really a perfect science,&amp;quot; says Belle &amp;quot;but that&amp;#039;s what got me into music in the first place: my love for creativity in lyrics, paired with beautiful and simple, yet memorable melodies.&amp;quot; Speaking of fans clamoring to hear Andrew and his songs, this past year Belle took part in the well-known Ten Out Of Tenn tour. In true tribute to its name, the tour (or T.O.T as it is affectionately referred to by fans) features ten talented artists all from Tennessee. &amp;quot;We put on one big collaborative show,&amp;quot; explains Belle. &amp;quot;We play with each other every night and share each other&amp;#039;s audiences while doing it. It&amp;#039;s so fun performing with your close friends.&amp;quot; So, what&amp;#039;s next for the talented Mr. Belle? With positive response to his latest album The Ladder growing every day, Andrew plans to release a deluxe version of his ten track gem and will tour the country in support of the release. Check andrewbelle.com for tour dates, and don&amp;#039;t worry...if you can&amp;#039;t make any of the shows all you&amp;#039;ve gotta do is turn on the TV to get your fix!
