Andy Armer is an American musician. At the age of 6, he started playing the piano. While attending Venice High School, he became interested with jazz music. After graduating high school, he and Randy Badazz wrote the song Rise for trumpeter Herb Alpert, which got extremely popular, and was later sampled for rapper The Notorious B.I.G.'s song Hypnotize, which remains popular for Hip Hop enthusiasts. During the 70's, Andy was playing with many different bands who played different genres of music. During the 80's, he was working with big name musicians such as Roberta Flack, Lenny Kravitz, and Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys. During the 90's, he decided to start working on video game music. For some reason, he used the alias "DMP" in some of his games, possibly short for Digital Music Productions. In 2002, Andy decided to quit composing video game music to go back to composing mainstream music and started a band. He currently lives in Bend, Organ and has also been playing the piano again.
