You may have heard of that young entrepreneur in Nashville who started out by creating web sites and marketing campaigns for industry leaders. If that's the case, you know Andy. He kicked off his first web sites in 1998 at the age of 11, as online interactivity was reaching its "boom."
Putting it to the test
Andy launched MP3 Haven in 1999, a download source for top digital audio and full album downloads. As copyright moguls hounded other download portals, Andy introduced Audio Chamber in 2000, "web tools for audiophiles" — an online service that allowed bands and musicians to administer and upload their own audio downloads and electronic press kits to a virtual web space.
Reaching out
In 2001 at the age of 14, Andy acquired his hometown church as a first client. Andy was invited into the Communications Committee and presented his work at a kickoff event. By 2003, he was contributing to photo sessions with Grammy award-winning musicians including Jars of Clay. This brought him to new clients including LebronJames.com, World War II's war dog hero, Smoky, and his trainer who was featured on Animal Planet.
Moving Forward
To date, Andy is providing service and consultation to over 50 clients. Andy recently gave an introductory speech at the The National Youth Leadership Forum in Silicon Valley and was a participant at the forum with the support of a leading tech company, Hyland Software, and DuckŪ brand Tape manufacturer, Henkel Consumer Adhesives.
This web site serves as Andy Tabar's official landing pad for principal experiences and work. Check back with us to see our developments in 2007!
