Andrew Sa

Sa moved from the Bay Area to Portland, Oregon and later to Chicago where he has been living since 2009. His earliest memories of music include listening to artists such as the Eagles, Reba McEntire, and contemporary country hits while riding in his father's car. His parents later divorced, and after his mother remarried, she started a karaoke company, further exposing Sa to music and performance from an early age.

Sa began his career as an actor, working in both film and theatre. From 2013 to 2016, he performed at queer-focused events, combining his artistic interests with his emerging understanding of his identity. He cites artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra as important influences on his musical career. As he came to terms with his identity, openly queer artists including Elton John, Rufus Wainwright, and k.d. lang also became significant sources of inspiration.

Sa began working at the Old Town School of Folk Music in 2013, where he also started receiving bookings for performances. In 2021, he released his debut EP, Cosmic Country Stars and in 2026, he released his debut album.

He identifies as a gay man and has been engaged to his fiancé, Jacob Strayer, for more than 12 years.
