The Evolution of Andrew McMahon

I absolutely love Andrew McMahon's voice. He has done many different styles and his career has definitely evolved since he started actively producing music in 1998 with the band Something Corporate.

Andrew decided to pursue a side project by himself during this time (with Something Corporate) and called it Jack's Mannequin. In 2005 he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but made a full recovery. His music changed as he changed and learned how to cope with what he was dealing with. He wrote this song based on his experience.

Recently Andrew McMahon announced that he would just be going by his name for his musical career. He said that he associated the name Jack's Mannequin with the period of his life when he was sick and going through a tough recovery process. He was ready to move on.
Here's to new beginnings!
