MY STORY - FUTURE BY ME

[@heatherlynn8709]

When my husband passed away 3 years ago everything stopped I lost my voice and since listening to you I have recently found my voice again I have gotten myself comfortable enough singing front of my kiddos still have yet to open up a little bit more but everyday I'm getting a little bit stronger little by little and I thank you for that

[@MFC8kloc]

I remember stumbling upon you while going down the rabbit hole that is KZbin. I started watching a "How To" video on fixing a lawnmower and somehow ended up on your first car cover video about an hour later. It only had a few thousand views at the time, but I was hooked from then on. Not just because of the hotness that is Andie Case, but because you three sounded SO good together. I still tell everyone about you guys. You have one of the best voices I've heard in a long time. Soft, raspy, powerful, sexy, control, you got it all. And I will continue to support and follow you until the end. Keep up the awesome work.

[@MrQwertyui666]

MFC8kloc I had the same thing from memory I was actually look at some game play an all of a sudden boom the first car cover was on my screen an I couldn't get enough

[@MFC8kloc]

Alex Peters, I can't ether! She's a special kind of awesome

[@machomb]

I've even more respect for you now, knowing your background. You worked hard and had your struggles, and now you get to enjoy what you deserved :) I'm happy for u and wish all the best!

[@anne.musiic]

I love YOU! this is so beautiful! idk how to describe it but I'm so proud of you omg. This just inspired me SO MUCH. I love music so much and I love to sing and my dream is to be able to share my voice, my thoughts and my feelings with people through music and writing and what you just said gave me such power to keep going and never giving up even when people try their hardest to let u down. THANK YOU. you're an inspiration. you're an idol. love you♥

[@OhioCBR]

Have loved watching you grow!! And becoming huge in music

[@Cbillupsfan4life]

Wow.... Andie Case, I now totally look at you differently. That story was amazing and very inspirational. You've inspired me. Just wow. Congrats on all your success. You've totally earned it

[@jenneyefer86]

I have so much respect for how you built your own life from scratch and overcame hard times. You deserve all of the success in the world.

[@cbmx7]

Not gonna lie, I teared up hearing your background story 😢. This video has made me realize to go after what you love doing instead of what everyone else tells you to do. Thank you for this Andie. Much love ❤️❤️

[@justinmarshalldrums2030]

It has been a crazy journey andie. I've been with you since the very beginning of your music 🙏🏼

[@GusElliott]

Wow. I subscribed to you after somehow stumbling upon your first car cover because, I mean let's be honest, you're gorgeous but also because I really liked the vibe you (AJ & Naphtali included) were giving off. It's humbling to know this goofy but uber talented person had to come such a long way to get to where she is now. I'm usually skeptical about ad videos but this is an incredible story worth sharing so thank you. Stay kicking ass, Andie.

[@miasayokovlogs]

IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!❤️❤️ I love you❤️

[@OfficialAndieCase]

Mia Stammer I LOVE YOU MORE!!! Thank u for being a part of my journey & such an amazing friend!!💕💕💕

[@Missmagazinebura]

Mia Stammer yes:) I found you when you were in the girls night in tour.

[@Chillycherry10]

who went to girls night in??

[@jesuscamacho3361]

Hello Andie Case, my name is jesse. The reason I'm commenting is because first and far most you are amazing. Beautiful talent. 2nd of all my son is 17 and he is into music he has done a few covers and he has some original stuff as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is can you give me any advice or just guide me in the right direction so one day he can be as big as you in the music scene. Please feel free to email me at [e-mail] I know he would really appreciate any advice. Thank you so much for taking the time on reading this and thank you for all your great videos.

[@thomashaight4420]

Tommy love you 😘

[@chesnutstallion804]

I'm 13 and I love to draw, write stories, and sing. I thought i was pretty good until the end of last school year when i didn't make it in the talent show because of being to shy, i was told by many thats no one cares about drawings and paintings anymore, and i was told that my books would never make it to the shelves. Sadly I've spent most of my summer pondering and believing that my talents aren't good enough and that I'll never become who i wanna be but watching ur video just now made me wanna pick up my pencil, book, and guitar again for the first time all summer. I may be young but i have big aspirations for my life so thanks for the encouragement

[@markwhitehouse6070]

Don't let other people put you down. Always do what you love and go after your dreams.

[@kimberlycampanella8713]

Do not listen to haters. The Universe has your back. Dream big, it might just come true🌟

[@jexikavindictive]

Who the fuck said that?? That's bullshit. Fuck them. You should listen to some punk rock. Might inspire you.

[@jm844]

Im a multimedia artist, i was doing great for a while then fell into a life i had no idea even existed, i lost myself and quit doing the things that made me a better man. im old , i stopped that crazy lifestyle, for more than 2 years and listening to you inspires me to do better . this is what life is suppose to be about. thank you for being honest and motivating.

[@r3iKoEXE]

Wow. I didn't think your story would have started like this. This is truly inspiring. It's definitely going to motivate to pursue the things I love and my journey because I'm in that point of my life where you first started, and things are slightly difficult right now. I'm going to be in Seattle in the beginning of September. It'd be awesome to meet you.

[@ryleepomeroy6941]

Andie, thank you for this. I needed this. I just graduated and my family always told me I wouldn't (because my sisters never graduated so they thought i'd be the same) but I pushed. Throughout high school I've faced so many difficult things and the main one was losing my dad. but YOUR music helped me. There's something about your voice that calms me. You sing with passion and it's so easy to tell. I remember scrolling through facebook and a friend shared your video of Me and My Broken Heart and I clicked it and that's when I feel in love. I went to the comments to see if someone said who was singing and once I found your name I went to youtube, facebook and twitter instantly to follow you and since that day I've been your biggest fan. It's so crazy that we haven't met but I feel like I've known your forever. I have so much love and respect for you. I love how passionate you are about music/singing. I've had so many days where I didn't want to live anymore but I always had your music to continue to push through as much as I didn't want to I kept your music on repeat. I love you so much and I can't wait for the day we meet so I can hug you and thank you in person. I'm so proud of you and proud to be a Fandie. Thank you for existing and making my shitty days better 💗

[@RENAADALD]

When I started watching this video I never thought that it'd leave me in legit tears 😭 this is so emotional ,i was super fucking inspired and I can't thank u enough for inspiring me every day to keep writing songs and creating music I'm honestly so speechless , You r my role model Andie ❤❤😭 and yeah when I become the person I wanna be I'll never forget to tell them about the blondie who was always there to push me forward 🙏🏻I love u Andie ❤❤❤

[@Animegazer1]

This really speaks to me because it's my senior year and I'm overwhelmed by all my peers and family about what to pursue career-wise. This makes me feel so comforted. I'm so grateful I watch your videos. You're so strong and inspirational.

[@alexandriacoccarelli4216]

My dream is to be a singer and I get told I'm too shy too, but you've inspired me so much and I think you're so amazing. I know you probably hear that every single day but you have no idea how much I adore you. Not only are you talented but you have an amazing personality and a beautiful soul. Your gift is going to take you very far and I can't wait to see it all happen.

[@rickbrown7059]

I love you even more now. You are a trendsetter! Watch...just watch at the number of "My Story" videos that pop up. NEVER stop! And to "the guys" tons of bro love. You both are so very talented.

[@Ryan-mi4lk]

Snapchat Squad!!! Absolutely love this! Your story seriously needs to be played at high school graduations! So glad you ignored what people said and now the world gets to hear that amazing voice!

[@DovydasMusic]

amazing story! thanks for sharing it!

[@kimberlycampanella8713]

Sometimes, people don't know talent when it's staring them in the face! Love your voice. What a waste of talent that would have been, if you would have listened to other people's opinions. I don't give a shit if you're shy! Love your voice. Sux, to be them, their loss! Thanks for sharing. I was living in my car too, last year but, didn't give up. You're a 🌟!!

[@bigdogfireman18]

Thank you for sharing your story you are not only an amazing singer but you are an amazing person! Also you and the guys were meant to work together and it shows! You are all such great musicians and singers! I look forward to following your journey!

[@Mrgunsngear]

Good on y'all. Hard work works 👍🏽

[@lukeoftheyear199]

I only came across your music 2 weeks ago watching the videos with you and OurLastNight.. Couldn't believe my eyes and ears after watching you! +1fan

[@veilside3484]

I remember watching your first road trip video and calling my sons in to watch.... we have all been watching and listening ever since.... well done to you guys.... never give up is what I try to teach my sons... I will be showing them this later....beautiful voice, beautiful lady..... keep doing what you love....

[@crystalrichey1423]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I have a 16 year old son who's had a difficult year and I'm always telling him to just do him, nobody else. Life will always have its ups and downs, but the more you know yourself, the better you can handle what life throws at you. Good job, good story, great attitude!

[@brooketurner4395]

I'm beyond proud I've been following you forever I remember hearing you guys were going on your first tour.....those who get to see you live I'm extremely jealous of I have a playlist of just your music!!! I just love how you seem to have MORE emotion in your voice you can tell a story and make us see and believe each story you tell while I sing. From love songs to sexy uptempo music girl keep it up on this zig zag journey!! Thank you for opening up to us!!

[@natahliasmith9533]

Wonderful story. There are not many people that can say that their profession is their passion. We all need to fall on our ass before we rise. It's what keeps us grounded. You all worked hard to get to this stage and I am super proud of you.

[@RYLEEMUSIC97]

You are one incredible person and hearing your story and how you struggled made me believe in humanity all over again. Your journey is so inspiring and I hope one day to be doing what I love too, just like you are. Music is the one thing that keeps me going when it feels like everything sucks. I have a really rare, incurable disease and sometimes, it makes me think that nothing will be possible anymore, but hearing your journey only inspires me to do keep going. You are amazing and I am proud to say that I have been here from the very first video and will be here until the end. Keep doing what you're doing and stick that middle finger up to those who say you can't. I'm so glad you chose to share your talent and I am glad to be witnessing such a beautiful soul develop. Thank you for inspiring me, Andie. Thank you, for everything. I hope one day that I, too, have the balls to reach my dream of being a singer, just like you. You are an inspiration to me, and to many more. I love you.

[@kevinrejko4838]

I have seen a lot of your covers and I would like to say they are AWESOME. I wont lie the first time i saw one of the videos I actually shared it and showed it to people because I was that impressed with it!!..I live all the way In Indiana. I feel that it is amazing the power of social media and what not to actually move careers in a direction. I want you guys to keep doing what you are doing. I hope that if you guys ever make it to my neck of the woods to do a show that I will be able to be in attendance. You guys ROCK!!...Just remember God allows everything to happen for a reason. I wish you nothing but success

[@shawnbarseghian2437]

I've been listening to you since your first cover, this story of yours just made me want to listen to you more now ( which I didn't think that was possible ). From you sleeping in your car to where you are at now in that short amount of time is just amazing.....

[@timmartinow5548]

Your life is a true testament to the triumph and limitless possibilities of the human spirit. I have never met you in person, but because of the way you present yourself on youtube, I feel that I know you somehow. It makes me laugh out loud at the people who doubted you, and I just want to hug and kiss you for your perseverance in the face of such adversity. I hope you never change and always remember your humble beginnings. You are now a very powerful force with the ability to inspire, transform and even save lives. That is a resposibility to take seriously, for as it is written in the bible, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." I never make any apologies for my faith in God, but I am not trying to preach at you here, just to encourage you to always use your power for good, and to let you know that I think the world of you. You have inspired over a million people at the very least. You have inspired me and given me strength and I am not ashamed to say I was fighting back the tears a little when I listened to your story today. May God always bless you richly, I think you definitely deserve it.

[@gorg7792]

Great story! I've been a fan of your music for a while now, but I think it's the first time I've ever heard you speak. I am happy that your hard work and perseverance is really paying off.

[@leonardocollins5788]

we take life, one foot infront of the other.... step by step we work towards our dreams. so so proud of you

[@angelvelasco5309]

Really heartwarming story. God Is in youre favor. I'm glad you shared your story. Some of us can feel lost but I'm glad you found your way and God is abunding you always. Life can be really tough on you if you let it. Andie Case you are truly a blessing to those going through the journey.

[@tinatompkins4989]

Andie Case you really showed me it's ok to not know where ur going or how to get there it's believing in yourself and anything is possible and your very inspirational that I can listen and watch you everyday

[@Liz-S89]

This was fun to see another side of Andie and hear her story. I’ve been watching her videos for 5+ years now and I’m so proud of how far she came and stuck it out, clearly it paid off!!

[@markbarnett7498]

Been following for over a year now and I love your story, never give up on your dream, you're just getting started!

[@darrellcrowder4769]

I discovered you last night while tripping through colabs and was blown away by your ability to own previously released songs by your unique ability to bring your own brand of passion and energy to them. By morning, I made a believer out of my wife. Can hardly wait to hear more of your own songs in 2019-20. You, my dear, are a special talent with no limit to how far you can take it. You are a winning formula of beauty, a lovely voice, brains, and determination. 😍😈😙🤗🤑

[@taylortanner8082]

You and the boys are really lovely. What a life you've all lived - Love you all dearly (as much as a long-time follower can) and wish you all the best. The rest of your journey will be just as amazing.

[@ace-nd1fi]

You were my inspiration when I was writing my book on an app I have. And after a few people took a chance on me and brought my book to others attention, it blew up. Hearing your story and listening to your music kept me writing and inspired. It started at ten maybe? Jumped to 450 reads to 30k. Now if I look up my name, the cover of my book is the fifth thing to pop up. I just want to say, thank you.

[@danifishkin4769]

currently watching this again and sobbing. Im so damn proud of you and I've never been so happy to have finally hugged you. I love you more than life

[@briennalamerson3990]

I first found out about you guys on Facebook from your second car cover! Now I listen to your covers more than the originals! #snapchatsquad

[@82barnes6]

My brother is about to turn 18 and watched this video and started crying. He said that you were really strong and that he would take this advice until he worked things out.

[@brittneymullins11]

You are such an incredible inspiration to women our age as well as our younger generation and just people in general.. Sharing your story and pushing forward..never giving up even when you were told you were going to go nowhere. I have shared your story with my three young daughters and we have become your listeners daily. I was one of your very first followers. I was there when you guys released your first car mashup.. up which was absolutely amazing, and everything else to follow. I shelter my daughter's from a lot of different things and music/artist but you are a role model. You have an amazing talent. We look for your covers before we want to listen to the song from the original because you put a completely different spin on it. You guys make the unoriginal original.. and you you own it.. 9/10 you are better than the original artist who is singing the song and I have loved listening to your singles along with everything else that you do. You inspire me. Keep doing you!! Keep doing what you're great at because you are exceptional. The music.. the way you touch people through music is amazing. Rock on baby girl. 😘😘

[@theloveropecrisdember4712]

You're absolutely right Andie about that it's okay to not have a plan for your life. Creating a plan is helpful even if you deviate from it at some point in expounding creatively. Every one is different, unique and it's okay not to be "uniform". It's okay not to do what others insist you do. I remember when I was about 12 years old and my dad was explaining to me how important it is and why it's necessary to get a job with a pension, plan for my future, work for about 30 years at the same job and then retire with benefits. He also discussed owning a home some day and living there for my lifetime to be settled. Well, I love my dad dearly and I've done many things and never really planned for the future. I remember telling my dad, "Oh, no way would I want to stay at the same job for 30 years and no way would I want to live in the same house for my lifetime. It's fine for those who choose to, but I knew as a preteen that wasn't for me. As life evolved I started my own business. I love to sing as you do and so I practice and rehearse etc, getting ready to do gigs at different places. I'm a bit freer financially because of the business and so I'm able to focus a bit more on music. I just met a few friends who love to jam, so we're getting in gear for something. I look forward to uploading our first video too someday soon. A friend just pointed you out to me about a week ago and I'm so thankful to sort of know you and watch you develop even moreso! I'm so proud of you. You're voice is masterful! I'm just so thankful for your example of true freedom and that freedom really isn't free, but if you hang in there and endure the struggle and the sacrifice you can fulfill your heart's desire. I love music and singing more than anything. I need to develop my voice more, but I'm getting stronger. I'm older than you, but I know that doesn't matter either because it's about living your dream and setting the butterfly in us free. Crissi D.

[@jeffsmith6760]

You three have such an amazing energy. I only found you about a month ago, but I can honestly say a day hasn’t gone by that I have not listened to several of your videos.

[@WicKeDGaming1337]

i found u through those car songs off facebook

[@nicholaskemper9752]

Andie, you have such an amazing perspective on life and such a stellar attitude! I teach middle school and there are an endless amount of students who are trying to find themselves. Visions and goals like yours, and the willingness to share these stories are huge inspirations for many and impact many lives. I plan on showing this video to my leadership students so we can debrief on how to build each other up and support our aspirations. Students need to see and hear more from individuals they identify with that the road in life is not always easy, but our personal will and those we surround ourselves with can aid in leading us to our successes. Thank you for taking the time to compose this video and put your story out there for everyone. You are a very talented individual and your character is outstanding. Hats off to you. Keep going strong!

[@fiery-death8689]

Not only are you beautiful but you also have both a beautiful speaking voice and a singing voice. I'm glad you found a way to pursue your dreams, and thank you for sharing your talent with us.

I LOVE ur videos. U r a AWESOME singer. This video made me tear up almost had tears coming down my face hearing ur stories. I hope u continue doing what u LOVE to do and Can't wait for ur first album to come out bc I'm definately getting it.

[@bluepandavideos]

I've been really anxious and stressed lately, especially tonight about my future and what I'm doing with my life. I'm 25 and people expect me to know what I'm meant to be doing, which I dont. I came across this video tonight, after a massive panic attack because I feel like I'm failing at my life. This kind of made me feel better, because I'm still trying at my life, and I need to remind myself that I'm still learning. So thankyou for sharing your story.

[@RawMama]

I remember those hot pink pants from your first show. I heard others doubting you but I really thought you had what it took. You are a huge inspiration to me and it's been a pleasure to watch you and your channel grow. Love to you, Naph and AJ. ❤️

[@alisonbouchard1383]

So proud of you! what a journey to be where you are now, only going to get better for you from here on now!!! love you so much prayers for you and your band 💕💕💕

[@katdady67]

There's not many who can take the hard road, And take that experience and use it as motivational Life Lesson. Sleeping wherever and eating whatever to survive, Is a blessing in disguise! Most do not have the motivation to make that change to see Thier situation as a Temporary step towards a better lifestyle. Very few know how to use the experience as a motivator.. Those hard life experiences when your young will stay with you forever! They build and mold a person into a Wise sucsessful individual. I myself experienced a young Hard life very similar to yours. Mine started abruptly at 15 yrs. I wouldn't change none of it. I stumbled across one of your early cover vids by accident, And your voice stopped me dead in my tracks. And most of your covers are the type of music that I tend not to listen to. I'm more old school Rock, instilled in me from those early Hard days. Best of luck to you! I Doubt you will ever need to pop the top on a cold can of Chef Boy Arde' ever again!

[@jeepgirl1021]

I absolutely love your music and I love you as a person even more now. I was homeless with my 2 small children last year. My daughter spent her 1st birthday in the woods living in a run down RV. Sleeping in the back of my jeep with my 2 kids was the lowest of the low for me. I have fought my way back up and never thought I would have gone through all that I have gone through. Your story is inspirational. You are inspirational. I am proud to say that I have landed back on my feet. It has been a hard rough journey and u have met some amazing people along the way. I want to say that I wish I wouldn't have had to go through that but then I wouldn't be where I am today. Also, American idol can suck it! Shy? I don't see that at all. And now you can say that YOU DID IT! You brought yourself up and got to where you are on your own and that isn't something that many people in the music industry can say

[@isayuhhh50210]

I've been here from the very beginning even some traveling to support your shows and I've said it before and I'll say it again I have faith in you guys and I know your going to make it big one day! Just don't forget about us when that happens

[@DeepCM]

Wow, and after that all you stood up and became who you always wanted. He protected you and showed you the right way. Well done Andie & Band :)

[@intergalacticstriker]

Love your story and your positive energy. Sounds like we share the same motto. "Life is beautiful. Never give up. Stay positive. Have faith. Push til' the end. You can knock me down but you can't keep me down." Keep up the amazing job. Have a wonderful week.

[@jamescole30]

Im from England and can remember a couple year back my mate sharing one of your car videos so you really are world wide! 🤙 Amazing story and it's unbelievable what's you have become! Hats off to you guys keep the good times rolling!

[@jomandapereira677]

I just came across this video and watched it. And it got me all teary eyed. That was so inspiring really. Thank you for sharing that. This video would let all the other people out there know that if you still don't what u want and if u don't have it all figured out, you don't have "life" figured out. It's OKAY to not have all figured out at this age, vut eventually will in time. I'm one of those people still discovering myself, still figuring it all out. And thanks to this video it just made me feel better and encouraged me in a way. The first song I ever heard by you was one of your originals "we're gonna be okay" and I fell in love with that and your voice. And ever since then I've been following u. Glad to know that u made it this far after all that you went through. God bless you! xoxoxo

[@justkeagzz7083]

Your first car cover is the reason that I found you! And I'm so glad I did! You are absolutely amazing! I love everything you do! And this video, this just made my day, thank you so much!

[@FreiderKorff]

You're totally right. One year ago I never expected to record an EP and upload it on music networks, I also thought that I would be alone all this time and I met the beautiful girl who now is my girlfriend. She's coming to live with me next Monday and even tough I don't even have a refrigerator or enough money to buy things I'm happier than ever. Never give up, guys. Someday you'll find the place where you belong, the one that makes you happy :D Love your covers!

[@Zoomjah]

OMG Andie!!! I kinda wish I saw this video like... 2 years ago, before I went through my past year and a half of hell, after college. Funnily enough I'm seeing this now, when I'm pretty certainly I'm finally moving into a positive era again. :) (Finally getting relevant experience towards my career interest, at a pretty sweet job.) Gotta say I absolutely agree with how this starts... and its amazing that I can look back at a year and a half of hell, and be strengthened so much knowing that the little annoyances now are nothing for me to fuss about, because of the recent past I've risen from, and because I learned to drop big expectations until I see much proof that things are finally working out. I finally learned to really be ok with everything about me, my past, the crappy situations I might be in for a while. I've become so much more responsible, and willing to learn from failure, while being excited for chances to taste my dream! :)))

[@oakleyfamily8432]

WOW! Much respect and I'm glad you kept with it.... I run your playlists as part of my commute every day. KEEP IT GOING! We all love your guys' music! Especially your voice!

This girl is so beautiful. Great story behind her as well, And amazing friends for helping her progress.

[@garypowers585]

Andie your story is so amazing and kudos to you for not listening to those knuckleheads who knocked you back and more fool them. Your journey and life is so inspiring and awesome, I don’t usually do this in any comments anywhere but hear goes. Im Gary from London uk 🇬🇧 when I was 16 I became homeless and through no one’s fault but my own, because of the person I was back then and I was homeless and alone by myself for five years. I was frequently spat on and called disgusting names by people and tourists 24/7. But it never got me down and I would just ignore the unnecessary BS thrown at me and keep going on and one day in the last few weeks of me being homeless a guy came up to me and actually had a conversation with me. The guy said to me what happened in me becoming homeless and living that way, I told him like you Andie my story and he said to me Gary your a inspiration in so many ways and the guy offered to help me get out of the lifestyle I was living then. This guy who I didn’t know from anywhere or trust at the time said how would you like to get off the streets of London and come and work for him. I was like who me no fricking way I couldn’t believe that in all the time I was homeless a random stranger took the time to approach me and hold a conversation with me. During our conversation he noticed that I had a scrap book and he asked me if he could take a look and I was a little hesitant at showing him what was inside it. It was actually a collection of my experiences and my journeys and also a couple of short fictional stories I came up with. He told me that what I had wrote was so moving and interesting and heartfelt. It actually blew me away to hear someone say something positive to me, and the guy asked if I was going to continue with my writing and pursue it. I was really doing it for myself not really thinking about what it could change for me. Well the guy who I can’t really name said look Gary do you want to come and work for him at his publishing company and start doing reviewing for professional writers and music bands. I was gobsmacked and blown away and I said yes 100 percent yes to him and it changed my life forever and I am now actually a writer and I also started training to become a learning support teacher and councillor for young vulnerable adults and kids with learning difficulties and disabilities and autism. So that man who gave me his time that day changed my life for the better and I’m forever grateful to him and have told him so many times since that day. I really believe that was god looking out for me Andie and I’m forever grateful and thankful to the guy and god. I just want to finish with saying to anyone who feels abandoned don’t let anyone or anything stop you from believing in yourself and doing what you want to do ever! I’m so grateful for you Andie because of your music and your professionalism of performing. You truly are a phenomenal artist and awesome human being and your dedication and commitment to what you do is phenomenal and thank you for giving me the courage to tell you and anyone on here to read my story❤️

[@katrinacryer8438]

[@Mama_Bear88]

Me and my broken heart is how I found you! Ever since then I've loved you guys! Your story is beautiful!

[@jamesbalter9284]

Thank you for keeping it real. You could easily have a big ego but you are humble and that is sooo cool. My Grandmother had a saying which was...People will always tell you that You can't do what they can't.The world hasnt begun to see your true musical ability and genius and that is cool because we will get to share the journey for a hell of a long time and I look forward to that.

[@ldsnurse9268]

Andie I'm so happy to see your success. You are incredibly talented and you deserve all the best. Thanks for sharing your amazing voice.

[@kirstymew4451]

I've been a big fan of your music since my sister tagged me in one of your car covers and I've been hooked ever since. Your story is amazing and I can't imagine being homeless and living out of a car at 18. You are a true inspiration to young people around the world and I can't wait to see what you do next.

[@godimlarge]

Such an inspiration. I’ve been following your career for years and it’s been amazing watching you grow and blow up. You’re absolutely fantastic

[@adamc.rivera1309]

That blows my mind that American Idol thought you'd be shy. After seeing you perform in town, "shy" is the last thing I'd ever say to describe you. I'm happy that the things that happened to you earlier in life didn't hold you back, that you kept at it and the things that people told you not to do, you did anyway. I'm happy to see your story continue. It's inspiring, to say the least. And btw, your music is just on repeat over here. My favorites: "Nothing Holding Me Back / Your Love mashup", and "Coming Around." Take care, sunshine! Keep singing, keep growing! I'll be cheering for you!

[@natalieprice5229]

You're so inspirational! The fact that you've gone through so much and yet you still come out on top! I've watched every single video you've uploaded and I just love your stuff! Keep your head up and I love you ❤

[@emilyconverse5071]

Couldn't be happier for you ❤️ I love seeing you grow and I love watching you succeed. So much love ❤️

[@SnoopySteve]

The first video I saw of yours was the Lonely no more mash up and I fell in love with you. You guys are amazing and I'm so glad you didn't give up and I am so happy for you. Can't wait to see what more is to come. ❤

[@popocatepetl7706]

Amazing! Keep on doing great guys. You too Andie, you're awesome. Been following your growth as an artist for more than a year and love your talent

[@skylarbordelon5111]

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I remember watching the first video you uploaded here and thinking to myself, "Who is this? She is incredible!" So I subscribed to your channel and have been following you ever since. Glad you kept going and following your dream after being told no. It proves that dreams can come true if you work hard enough and are determined. Your story is inspirational. From being homeless to where you are now is almost unimaginable. I am 18 years old and have absolutely no idea where I am headed, but after watching this, it doesn't matter. As long as I have fun and follow my dreams, I think I will be okay. Thanks for the inspiration and excited for what comes next! Much love ❤️ 😘

[@gjd1942]

So happy for you three. Great to give this gift to other dreamers who need guidance and thank you for the joy of your music, sharing and delighting us. You're such a charming person and yeah, I have to say it. You're so beautiful, truly a dream girl.
