Columbo: Born Andrew Phillip Watson On December 4 1980, Columbo has been one with music as far as he can remember, music has always influenced every part of his essence. As a child growing with his grandmother,(who he is very fond of ) he often imaged himself playing musical instruments, but, Andrew was from a family that did not believe in doing music for a living or career,and his father was totally against it, so therefore he did not received any music lessons. Nevertheless his passion for music grew with his age, and as he became older the want and need to do music became stronger but still his father would not allow him to follow his dreams. His father had a different plan for him, he wanted him to study hard and become a lawyer, which was HIS FATHER's DREAM. During Columbo's high school years, he attempted to form a music group with and a few friends,which did not last long due to lack of co-operation and organization.
