Andy Chapman is an Australian ‘Musicianary’; a musician, missionary, singer songwriter, speaker and teacher. Andy began playing music at an early age and plays a lively mix of R&B, Reggae, Blues, and Country Rock, mostly originals and some covers, engaging audiences wherever he performs.

Andy performs solo, or duo (with his wife Sharny or daughter Georgia, both great singers) or band with Asher, ( 2nd son, singer songwriter) and Josiah (1st born, Jazz guitarist) and others to form “Andy Chapman and Tribe”.

Andy and his wife Sharny’s greatest love and their mission calling is to the peoples of the southwest pacific islands specifically, the Soloman islands and Vanuatu where they spent 6 years in Youth Ministry with Andy as Principal of a Mission School. Their lives have been filled with music and ministry since their 3 children were born and even though the children have ‘left the nest’ and are leading lives of their own, Andy and Sharny continue to minister through music and teaching to the Indigenous people of this region.

Andy is a true veteran, having performed in many different countries to many audiences young and old. These have included Australia, Thailand, Nepal, Fiji, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Uganda, Solomon Islands, Turkey, Israel, and Vanuatu.

His past performances included one of Australia’s most iconic Christian music festivals “Easterfest” as well as touring with Gospel greats, Steve Grace (Outback and Central Australia), and Steve Apirana (Nepal and Australia).
