Andrew Bergthold

Raised amid the vibrant harmonies of a gospel choir in downtown Kansas City, Andrew Bergthold's earliest echoes of life were melodies sung in his home church. The piano keys were his first playground, yet the rigid lines of sheet music were mere suggestions to his creative spirit. His penchant for improvisation soon blossomed into crafting original songs, capturing their essence on his father's vintage cassette tape recorder. Andrew's youthful ingenuity shone as he masterminded a way to layer melodies, long before the age of digital recording, his bedroom becoming a sanctuary where instruments and vocals intertwined in an intricate dance of sound. Throughout his high school and college days, Andrew's musical journey was marked by the formation and leadership of bands that spanned the genres from punk rock's electric rush to worship's reverent tones. His notable venture, We The Kingdom, found resurgence and new direction with the collaboration of the Cash Family. Beyond the stage, Andrew's influence extends to the realms of writing and producing. His creative signature can be heard in commercials for global brands like McDonald's, in the adrenaline-pumping soundtracks of major movie trailers, atop radio charts with #1 singles, and among the honored nominees of the Dove Awards. His work contributed to a project that secured a Grammy, etching his mark on the legacy of music. Yet, for Andrew, the true measure of achievement is not found in accolades but in the authenticity of his art. His mission is to ignite the creative spark within others, guiding them to flourish in their talents. With every note and lyric, he directs the spotlight upwards, acknowledging Jesus as the master artist, the source of every perfect gift and the inspiration behind each chord he plays.
