SAN DIEGO, California – In February, enjoying over four million listeners across all platforms, Fil-Am rapper Headband Andy or HBA took the Music Box stage as one of the opening acts and brought down the house.A few days later, the venue asked him to come back, this time as the headliner.

Since his set in February, the rapper has been busy meeting  and collaborating with industry professionals including producers, labels and fellow artists. Last week, he was invited to a sit-down at Power-106 FM and met with the radio station’s Director of Brand Content DJ E-Man and radio personalities Bryhana & Letty Peniche.

“It’s all been very cool and exciting,” said HBA.  “If you told me last year, I was going to be invited to do a studio session with Luis Bordeaux, I would’ve been like, yeah, right.”  Bordeaux is the Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum producer who is responsible for “Calling My Phone” by Lil Tjay and “City of Gods” featuring Alicia Keys.

HBA’s collaboration with Billboard Charting Music Producer and Sound Designer Polo Boy Shawty produced the hit “Yetru” earlier this year. His singles “Vito/Bad Boy” and “I Must Apologize” have garnered over 3 million plays on Spotify.  He has over 6 million streams across all platforms. Headband Andy is a graduate of the University of San Diego and is repped by RFM Int’l.

In April, his manager Ryan produced an intimate concert at Inflamed Studios in Los Angeles, where some of rap’s biggest names including Yeat, Autumn, Lucki, D Savage and Matt Ox have performed.

San Diego is home to Headband Andy and he can’t wait to be back on Music Box’s stage on May 24th. His guests will be local artists Foxtide and Ville, and Buppy, popular pop-rapper from Utah.  Doors open at 7p.m..
