Wow.
That was my reaction when I played his “Straight Up” Hollywood piece. It was a Paula Abdul original but Andrew Garcia turned it around into something that made everyone gasped. Because it was oh so good you won’t believe your ears. Even Simon was floored by his performance, ” “The only person who’s walked through today who I genuinely believe is a good singer…a genuinely, genuinely, good, good singer…”
Of course, after that audition piece went on air, I’ve read a couple of queries on his ethnic background. Most people back here asked if he is a Filipino. Sure he does look like one – with dark hair and a built that seemed to be in need of weight loss products prescription. But Andrew Garcia is a pure-blooded Latino. His girlfiend/wife, according to news, is a Filipina named Christine Concepcion. Satisfied?
Andrew Garcia is already a dad living with his family in Moreno Valley. They say that his parents grew up in the streets of Compton and were very active in the gangster lifestyle. But somehow life changed a bit and we can see how Andrew cherished his young family by spending more time with them.
Watch out for this guy.
