Andrew Patton is President and CEO of Patton House Entertainment LLC. With more than twenty years of experience with numerous promotion and marketing campaigns including the launch of Midas Records Christian, and the national radio kick-off behind the Dove Nominated Time-Life “Songs 4 Worship:  Country” project, allowed him from 2010 – 2012, to easily step into the role of General Manager / VP of A&R at Inpop Records.  While there he helped give the label and Christian band, Newsboys their first ever #1 Billboard Christian Monitored Adult Contemporary Christian single. He also generated a nine-week #1 title-track single from Newsboys album “Born Again” coupled with the biggest first-week sales in Newsboys history according to SoundScan.

Patton House Entertainment also led the radio team to launch the country music career of Beverley Mitchell from TV’s longest running family drama, 7th Heaven.  His experience and dedication to his work earned him the 2005 Radio and Record’s Christian Promotion Executive of the Year Award.
 
In 2005, Andrew saw a need for a new style of artist management within the music industry.  His initial goal was to structure a company that provided effective Artist Development, while creating substantial career opportunities and growth.  He discovered Rush of Fools in September 2006 while judging a band competition for unsigned artists.  Andrew groomed Rush Of Fools into the second best selling new artist for 2007 with the #1 Christian Adult Contemporary Radio song “Undo.”  In 2008, Rush Of Fools was nominated for four Gospel Music Association Doves Awards including New Artist of the Year and Song of the Year.  
 
Since then, Patton House Entertainment has partnered with many Christian artists, including the Michael Gungor Band, Wayne Watson, Austin’s Bridge, Echoing Angels, Jimmy Needham, Chase Callahan, The Rhett Walker Band, and 1 Girl Nation.  PHE also hosts the Indie Insider Experience music weekends, which are designed to answer the questions that new artists have about getting into the business.
 
In 2010, Andrew has also expanded the services that Patton House Entertainment offers to the artist.  With the addition of Matt Ingle Promotions and Glenn Goodwin, Patton House National Promotions has promoted numerous Number One Singles including “Born Again” from the Newsboys and “Lead Me” from Sanctus Real. They also introduced J.J. Heller and NewWorldSon to Christian AC radio. Patton House Entertainment also offers a full service Publishing division (in partnership with EMI-CMG Publishing), which helps clients manage and develop their songwriting skills.
 
In 2013, Andrew unveiled the much anticipated, Patton House Music Institute.  This highly specialized, unique one-on-one program for artists not only teaches but also creates the well rounded artists that entertainment partners are looking for today.  Partnered with some of the industry’s top professionals, Andrew personally works with clients to lay the foundation on which they will build their dreams.
