Songwriter
André is a relative newcomer to the singer-songwriter scene, yet his recorded originals have received accolades from music industry professionals worldwide as extremely well-written songs which have strong potential to enter the contemporary ballad market. As a songwriter, André has won awards for both lyrical content and melodic form.
“André Mendes da Costa is an unassuming talent emerging onto the Wellington music scene. An accomplished pianist, André delivers harmony and melody as a singer-songwriter reminiscent of songs we still love from the ‘70’s. New Zealand has too few songwriters driving their music from the piano and André’s music is refreshing to say the least.”
