Andy Sears (born Andreas Costa Sears, 16 January 1960, Shoreham-By-Sea, West Sussex, England) is an English musician and vocalist/composer of the band Twelfth Night from November 1983 to December 1986, and again from June 2007 to November 2012.[1]

Sears co-wrote many songs for Davy Jones of The Monkees during the early 1980s, many of which have been subsequently released in Japan and the USA.

He provided all the backing vocals on the album Calibrated Collision Course by Spanish band Galadriel (2008).[2]

In 2011, he released a limited edition CD of work in progress, Souvenir to coincide with a European Tour as support to Pendragon.

Recently, Sears has garnished critical acclaim for his character portrayal of the villainous 'Lord Henry Jagman' in the musical Alchemy,[3], by Clive Nolan.

He is currently[when?] working on his next solo album, The Dragon Inside.
