Andrea Hamilton: Kevin is a great friend and
very humble person, so I stopped feeling intimi-
dated after about 5 minutes writing with him.
Every time we sit down to write a song I learned
something about how to write, but more than
that, I learn something about life.
Jen G: Andrea, could you give us the scoop on
the new song you wrote, "Truth, Get Your Boots
On”?
Andrea Hamilton: That’s a co-write with Kevin.
I went to his house and he brought up the title,
which he had scribbled down earlier. I said, that’s
funny, I just wrote a poem about Truth!
And lyrics started springing up from there.
Jen G:As a Christian how has God lead you to
write truthful music that's not necessarily relig
iously incline, but produced by faith and influe
nced by God?
Andrea Hamilton: This is actually just the type
of music that comes most naturally to me. I believe
we all have different gifts – some Christ-following
song-writers are meant to contribute sacred songs
to modern day worship services, some are to write
for the church-going market, and some should
spread the gospel more implicitly by writing
within their value system and living lives that
back that message up.
Jen G: If you could sit down and talk to your
fans saved or unsaved, what would you say about
your walk with Christ? How has your relation-
ship with him caused you to see life?
Andrea Hamilton: There’s a lot to say!
A lot of times I just share where I’m at at that
particular moment, and there always seems to
be a few people that can relate. I try to be honest,
like I played a show in Fullerton one night when
I was on some medicine that…well, it made me
really moody. So I shared the fact that I wasn’t
doing so hot and sang some of my “sadder”
songs. It was a step out for me, and I was a little
worried that people who came to see me perform
like usual would be disappointed, but instead
I got thanked for my honesty, and it opened up
opportunities for other people to share with me
about their struggles. That’s kind of what art is
to me- a way to connect. I guess this walk with
Christ thing isn’t as easy or predictable as I
thought it was going to be, but it is so worth it
– the most important thing in my life, by far.
The fact that Jesus Christ would want to spend
every day with me still blows me away.
Jen G: Where can Live At Safe Have 2006
and Stronger Than I Seem be purchased?
Anread Hamilton: iTunes.
