1. Andy W. Mason
Folk / country-rock / singer-songwriter Ottawa, ON, CA
Andy began singing at a very young age, teaching himself drums at about six, and later tried to learn songs on the piano. An older brother gave him a Rickenbacker guitar in 1979, and he began teaching himself in earnest. Soon he was playing on the piano and guitar, original, Stevie Wonder and Supertramp songs for his high school in rural southern Ontario. Eventually moving to Toronto, another older brother introduced him to the coffeehouse scene. Before long, he was acting in theater, (K.Y.T.E.S, and for A.N.D.P.V.A.) and playing clubs and coffeehouses. Soon after he helped form a CSNY tribute with John Law, (of the award-winning duo The Laws. His music and voice has been called unique and heartfelt, versatile and uncommon.
In 2012, June, at the Solsitice Powwow in Vincent Massey Park, Ottawa, Andy entered, and subsequently won, the Canada\’s Aboriginal\’s Got Talent showcase, in his third entry at the showcase. He won a cash prize, and a feature article in the August issue of SAY Magazine.

Members of the Musskrats:
