Artist profile

HorthWorld – Singer / Guitarist / Songwriter

HorthWorld is the electrifying alter ego of singer-songwriter Andrew Horth, based in Melbourne, Derbyshire.
Blending earworm hooks with unfiltered emotion, HorthWorld channels an eclectic mix of influences into a genre-bending soundscape that touches on indie, alt-rock, power pop, punk, shoegaze, synth and folk.
Since making a bold entrance in August 2024 with debut single “Watercooler Girl” — co-produced by Kitten Pyramid and Nick Brine (Oasis, The Stone Roses) at Rockfield Studios and Leeders Vale Studios — Horth’s songwriting has earned praise across the board.
Pairing infectious melodies with lyrics that range from humorous to heartbreakingly candid, his songs are rooted in lived experience, challenging norms and probing emotional truths with disarming honesty.
Horth has also worked with top-tier producers including Gavin Monaghan (Editors, Robert Plant, The Twang), Natt Webb (Alt Blk Era, Wheatus, The Struts).
With more releases and full-band performances lined up for 2025, HorthWorld is forging a fearless path through the indie underground — a reminder that it’s never too late to leap, and land.

Creative Genre

  • Indie / Pop / Rock / Alternative

Work Undertaken

  • As a solo singer / guitarist I can perform a mix of original songs and covers from across the decades sometimes using a loop pedal for an additional twist. There is also a 5 piece HorthWorld band that have recently played at Dubrek Studios in Derby and Whistlewood Music Festival in Melbourne to great acclaim.
