Biography

Andrew Jahn (pronounced "Yahn" ) is a powerhouse Canadian singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and fierce community advocate based in Almonte, Ontario. Seamlessly bridging the worlds of cinematic orchestral composition and high-energy indie pop, Andrew has established a formidable regional footprint as a versatile renaissance man who uses his music as a direct, unstoppable force for social good.

Andrew launched his public music career in January 2020 with his firsf pop single "Still Here (Where Are You, Fear?)", instantly capturing local airwaves on Lake 88.1 and CKDJ 107.9. Undeterred by global lockdowns, he drop-fed his debut EP, The Journey Within (2020/2021). "Free", "Twisted", and "In The Night" secured heavy rotation across Canadian campus and community radio networks, including Montreal's CKUT 90.3 FM.

Andrew's single "Twisted" was entered into the iHeartRadio Music Spin and landed slots on two Spotify Editorial Playlists. To date, his multi-genre discography—including LOVE EP ("LOVE", "MUSIC", "HOME"), "Anastasia" (2023), "Cloud9" (2024), and "Dancing With The Stars" (2025)—has been featured on over six radio stations and analyzed by dozens of prominent online music blogs thanks to a past partnership with Presstown Media in Montreal

Andrew continues to scale his independent releases across international markets and is planning a self directed tour for 2026/2027 across Ontario and parts of the U.S to continue fighting food insecurity. 

A true vocal chameleon, Andrew sings fluently in five languages: English, German, Ukrainian, French, and Italian. He holds a composition degree from the University of Ottawa, where he honed his craft under the dedicated guidance of John Armstrong. 

He currently studies advanced orchestral composition under JUNO-nominated composer Iman Habibi and pursues opera training with Carleton University performance instructor David MacAdam in Orléans. His rigorous technical background includes formative training with renowned composer Rene Orth, jazz/pop specialist Brandon Curtis, and classical pianists Cynthia Bredfeldt and Colleen Skjaveland. 

Andrew’s artistry is entirely inseparable from his high-stakes advocacy for disability rights and food security. In 2022, he organized and fronted benefit concerts supporting Ukraine and the Rural FASD Support Network. In 2024, his grassroots initiative mobilized St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Shrine to raise 1,800 lbs of food for the Shepherds of Good Hope in Ottawa, earning him the "Knight of the Year" title from the Knights of Columbus (Council 9544).

In 2025, Andrew launched his signature "Something for Everyone" outreach series, immediately raising $1,859 for The Lanark County Food Bank (The Hunger Stop) in Carleton Place. Through raw, community-driven busking on street corners his fundraiser now sits at $6755.50. Deeply committed to supporting displaced Ukrainians, he was a featured headliner at the 2025 Ukrainian Independence Day Festival and has served as the live pianist for the Ukrainian Children's Choir—most notably accompanying them at the Senate of Canada for an historic heritage event.

On the side, Andrew is an unapologetic studio nerd, a dedicated gym bro, and a relentless grassroots hustler who proves that you all need is a big heart and an out of tune street piano to change lives.

Andrew is currently working on an ambitious slate of new music including his very first Ukrainian-language single, "Танці із зірками" (Dancing With The Stars

Andrew Jahn is on a mission to raise $10,000 for Lanark County Food Bank - The Hunger Stop. Thanks to the generosity of Good Neighbours, Andrew has raised almost $8,000 ($7880.50!)

$10,000 will purchase two months worth of milk and eggs for Clients; 38% of whom are Children.

The Hunger Stop is the longest serving Food Bank in Lanark County; more than 35 years. They serve almost all of Lanark County North; from Carleton Place to almost Arnprior. They spend $40,000/month; up from $5,000/month, five years ago. They provide five days worth of food/month and receive no funding from any level of government.

I'm a graduate now :)

(and I'm still here!!)

Seven years ago, I was a chronically ill young adult who wasn't sure what the future would hold. Today, I'm proud to be a graduate of high school, college, and the University of Ottawa.

My journey would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of the University of Ottawa community. I am deeply grateful to the University's donors for believing in students like me. Scholarships including the Shelagh and David Williams Scholarship, the Albert Tunis Memorial Scholarship, and the Gaston Geon Undergraduate Scholarship made it possible for me to complete my degree and pursue my dreams.

The University of Ottawa opened doors that changed my life, and I am honoured to officially join its alumni community. Thank you to everyone who invested in my education and believed in my potential.

Say hi!
