Andrew Maz began songwriting in 1986. His goal was to write music that would impact the listener with honesty and sincerity.

From 1987 – 1995 Andrew self-produced several albums as Instant Emotion, some with the help of other musicians while others were done entirely alone. The albums were shared and performed amongst close friends. Their positive response to his music encouraged him to continue writing and develop his craft further.

After a 5-year hiatus, Andrew released his final album as Instant Emotion in 2001, Impressions . With this album, Andrew's music took new shape and reached intensity unequalled in his earlier works. It was also his first linear concept album—a story taking place over two days. The album was well-received by the public, many drawn by the storyline behind the album. The album was described as “operatic.”

Shortly after the release of Impressions, Andrew decided to drop the Instant Emotion brand and begin something new. 
   

In 2006, Andrew found himself involved in several musical projects.  He began the year by teaming up with film composer Ludek Drizhal and working as his score engineer.  One project led to another and soon Andrew found himself not only writing a song for Slayer, but also contributing to several scenes in Death Row.  His partnership with Ludek promises to be exciting in the coming year. 

Andrew also released an ambient music album, Technique.  His experiments with ambient music began in 2004 with Textures.  His latest ambient project is titled Tempo. This new album plays with the perception of time in music.
   
 

In May 2006, Andrew released Eclipse, continuing his songwriting tradition.  This album begins a new storyline that will carry through for several albums.  Eclipse draws on personal spiritual journeys.  It is a story of seeking spiritual identity in a world that constantly tries to define one's beliefs.  Andrew presents his story with brutal honesty and emotion.  It is a self-contained journey for the listener—one that is significant and unique for each individual.

Andrew is also working on the follow-up to Eclipse, titled Shelter.  Recording for Shelter should begin in mid 2008. 

   
  Andrew currently works out of his studio in Los Angeles.
