Andrew S. Wellman // Founder
A self-taught musician with roots in metal bands, worship teams, and Nashville songwriting sessions, Andrew’s playlist jumps from Katy Nichole to Memphis May Fire without warning — much like his career path.
Whether coaching basketball, teaching in a classroom, or building Chordii from the ground up — including learning to code when a website was needed — his approach is always the same: figure it out, then make it easier for someone else.
Andrew, his wife, their two kids, and their Bernese mountain dog Gus have called everything from a tiny house in Oregon to an RV named Steve (Steve RV — get it?) “home.” Through it all — cancer, creative detours, and seasons of scraping by — faith has been the foundation, putting Jesus first and learning to serve others along the way. And somehow, no matter the road, music keeps finding its way back — a thread God keeps weaving into the story.
