Show Notes

Andrew “Ace” Greenspan is a singer‑songwriter and motivational speaker from Nyack, NY whose life and music embody resilience, faith, and the fight to rise above adversity. At 33 years old and on the autism spectrum, Andrew has been playing piano and singing since the age of four—using music as both a creative outlet and a lifeline.

After entering recovery in early 2024, Andrew is now over a year sober and channeling his journey into a bold new album, Livin’ Rough, Hangin’ Tough. The project dives deep into his battles with addiction, mental‑health and developmental challenges, and chronic neurological pain. Every track reflects the raw truth of what he’s survived—and the hope he’s determined to share.

Throughout 2024, Andrew spent eight intense months writing and recording this album, personally handling the instrumentation, production, mixing, and mastering. His dedication shows: the music is powerful, honest, and built to reach anyone who’s ever felt broken, misunderstood, or alone.

Today, Andrew is performing his new material and using his voice to uplift people facing all forms of struggle. His message is simple but profound: with hope, prayer, and perseverance, you can learn to “live rough & hang tough.”
