Winner of MTV's Chicago Breakout Artist of the Year, local singer-songwriter Andrew Belle has been awarded a John Lennon Songwriting Contest trophy, released critically-acclaimed albums, has more than 100 film and televisions licenses to date (including Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Pretty Little Liars), and garnered a worldwide fanbase --  all without signing to a major label. A fascinating combination of artist and entrepreneur, Belle's highly anticipated third album Dive Deep is slated to drop in Fall 2017. We talked to Andrew about his workflow processes, jumping between left and right sides of the brain, telling the truth, how to get started in low-stakes environments, and much more.
