Since then ANDI has performed in many of Dublins top music venues such as Whelans, The Grand Social, SIN E, The Workmans Club etc. As well as taking part in livestream gigs where most recently ANDI was chosen as 2021 WHELANS ONES TO WATCH.

In February 2021 ANDI released Housewife which had already received reviews and features from the likes of Hotpress magazine, Imro Ireland and Golden plec as well as some national airplay and Spotify playlists. Housewife is a dramatic song about feeling trapped in an everyday routine, societal expectations of women and the boredom of normal life. This will be the first single from the upcoming Cedar Ward EP. Having been chosen as 'Whelan's ones to watch 'ANDI is definitely an artist you want to keep your eye on this year.
