Andrew Wyatt is an American musician and producer. Born and raised in Manhattan, he has played in New York bands such as The A.M.,[2] and is currently the vocalist in the Swedish electronic pop band Miike Snow.[3][4] He has worked extensively with other artists, writing and/or producing songs with Carl Barat, Mark Ronson, Dragons of Zynth, Bruno Mars, Coco Sumner and others.[5]

He co-wrote the 2010 song "Grenade" performed by Bruno Mars, which in 2012 was nominated for three Grammy Awards and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6]

History

Wyatt grew up on Perry Street in Manhattan[5] in the 1980s.[7] At 18, he and Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee formed the short-lived experimental pop band Funkraphiliacs, whereupon he was signed to Capitol Records as a solo artist. He worked on the album in Bath, UK, at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios for about a year, with the Pet Shop Boys and Siouxie Sioux producer Stephen Hague,[8] until chemical dependency and psychological issues forced him into hospitalization at New York's Paine Whitney clinic. Surmising that a major label release with its incumbent pressures was not realistic, it was decided that a period of respite was needed. Wyatt moved to a small mountain town in Colorado for several years.[9]

After briefly studying at classical conservatory, he returned to New York City and shortly thereafter formed the group The A.M. with Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, formerly of Jeff Buckley's band. The group released one album on Universal UK before disbanding in 2005.[10][11]

He is currently the lead singer and co-songwriter for the Swedish band Miike Snow.[3][12][13]

He has also worked extensively with other artists, writing and/or producing songs with Carl Barat,[14][15] Mark Ronson,[16][17][6] Tiggers, Dragons of Zynth, Coco Sumner, and many others. He has also in recent years begun doing sound installations for galleries and video art, and debuted Waves, a collaboration with photographer / video artist Sebastian Mlynarski, at The New Museum in New York.[1] He co-wrote the 2010 song "Grenade" performed by Bruno Mars, which in 2011 was nominated for three Grammy Awards and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6] He co-created the music for the the 2012 one-act ballet "Carbon Life" along with Mark Ronson.[18]

Personal life

Wyatt currently lives on Spring Street in Manhattan.
