Andy De Anda's Mission Statement would be to help people with his sounds & lyrics made into music. By helping them get through whatever they're going through in life. Whether it be a gym workout, a romance/break-up, school problems, family problems or going out over the weekend and needing something to dance to. By helping people with his sound Andy De Anda can use music with others the same way he uses music in his life.
