Andrew Whiteman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Whiteman is a Canadian musician and songwriter, originally born in Havana, Cuba. Forming the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir in Toronto out of high school, he eventually left the band in 1993 after eight years and went on to produce a solo effort, Fear of Zen, in 1995, as well as an album with the band Que Vida in 1998.

Leslie Feist subsequently invited Whiteman to collaborate with herself and what was then essentially the core of Broken Social Scene -- Brendan Canning, Kevin Drew and Justin Peroff. The chemistry was successful and Whiteman became one of the band's four members to consistently appear in every tour.

Whiteman also has his own side project, Apostle of Hustle.
