Singer/Songwriter Andrew Aguiar released his debut EP "Ghosts" just days before deploying to Afghanistan with the Canadian Army. The 6 song EP was inspired by his long time girlfriend Valerie and their tumultuous relationship. Andrew wrote, produced, and recorded the 6 song EP in the 2 months prior to his departure.
Andrew was motivated by a desire to leave something behind for Valerie during his tour. He dedicated the EP to her as a tribute. It was Valerie who inspired him to find confidence in himself as an artist.
"Lullaby", a featured song, was written while the couple were locked in a loving gaze yet anxious of their inevitable separation. Other songs like "I will only hurt you" portray the anxiety and commitment issues that men leaving their loved ones often face.
The EP lays bare Andrew's vocal tenacity and songwriting prowess. His clean and direct approach manifest the strong emotional core behind the writing and recording of the release. The relevance and personal connection felt in the writing of "Ghosts" is apparent in the performances.
Andrew plans to leave the military and focus solely on his musical career after returning to Canada. He is eager to perform the EP to live audiences but will have to wait until late this summer when he returns to Ottawa, ON and reunites with his love.
