Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest supporting VH-1's Save the Music Foundation. The Song of the Year judges are some of the biggest names in music including many Grammy Award winners.
Song of the Year is excited to recognize Andre for his exceptional songwriting ability for the song Symphony DeLa Dre. Andre competed against songwriters from all over the world for this honor. When asked what inspired the song Andre commented that "everyday I have music flowing through my head, however this one day I was thinking I wanted to compose something very dramatic and orchestrated".
Andre released his debut CD early part of 2004 labeled: "Motions of Music" and is currently working on a new CD while hoping to get noted recognition as an exceptional songwriter, and of course secure a record deal.
My newly released CD is named Motions of Music. My music is very eclectic in its' own right, therefore with the motions in which my music moves and changes was the way I came up with the Title of the CD, "Motions of Music". All songs written, arranged, performed by: Andre T. Cousar �© Andre T. Cousar, 2003 and produced by Jun Tiangnco.
2nd CD in Production.
