Andy
Born in Georgia and raised on the roar of amplifiers, he has been in love with music his entire life. He first stormed the scene as a Hard Rock and Heavy Metal vocalist in the Georgia and Florida circuits, and his reputation preceeded his arrival to South Carolina, where he picked up the guitar and discovered the sound that would define him.
Today he's known for his signature tone, his pedal-wizardry, and the kind of riffs that shake the walls of every venue he plays. Touring throughout the Southeastern USA, he's build a reputation as an epic songwriter and electrifying performer, having opened shows for various National and Regional Touring Artists* throughout the years. He continues creating and performing alongside his wife, co-founder and co-writer of Bona Lisa - forging music with passion, precision and pure metal fire.
"I had one goal in mind from 15 years old until now, to write and perform original rock music. It has always been a challenge that kept me going thru good times and bad. A journey not a destination. I have been fortunate enough to have a partner to share this with, my wife Donna. Bona Lisa is the culmination of this dream that I have been following for more than half of my adult life. Hopefully some will share this dream with us." Andy Milikin
