Andrew D. Keller’s Summary

A&R manager at Columbia Records, overseeing various artists on the label's roster with a focus on alternative/rock music. I also run Columbia's A&R internship program, Walking Eye.

An avid music fan, I began interning at Columbia Records as a junior in high school, and continued interning there as well as Sanctuary Music Group simultaneously during my senior year.

After my graduation from high school I was hired by Columbia as A&R scout, a position that I maintained while a student at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study.

I also DJ at various New York city locations and act as a culture consultant for ChaCha Mobile.
