About Andrew Sings.....

My name is Andrew Tait. I am originally from Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, and have now lived in Turkey for four years. Initially I lived on the beautiful Aegean coast of South West Turkey, and in 2012 I moved to the Fethiye area on the Mediterranean coast. Formerly a communications professional in the global financial services industry, I had always had a huge desire to be a singer and share my enjoyment of music with other people. So much so that I spent many an evening in karaoke bars crooning my tunes whilst enjoying a fine ale or two! I even went for an audition (many years ago now) for a part in a West End musical - sadly without success. In the early part of 2010 I was asked by two special friends if I would like to do a 'show' at their bar in Altinkum, Didim. Soon I was feeling the stress of learning 30 new songs in a four week period for a my very first ever public performance as a solo professional vocalist. Since that first performance things have just steam-rollered, to the point in early 2012 I was doing five or six gigs regularly every week in Didim and Akbuk. I perform many classic and contemporary pop songs from across six decades. My favourite genre for singing is Swing and I frequently perform my various theme/tribute nights, including a Rat Pack Show. I currently have over 200 songs in my repertoire, and I absolutely love my work as a singer.
