“At the end of the day, all I want to do is create timeless music that every single human being can relate and connect to, no matter their color, creed, or nationality,”
In the quiet streets of Baltimore, under the moon's watchful eye, Andrew "AWALL" Cornwall first found his voice in the world of music, transforming late-night freestyle sessions into a powerful therapeutic journey captured within the pages of his countless notebooks. From performing at New Year’s celebrations in Central Park to the more intimate settings of The Fillmore in Maryland, AWALL has carved a path that is uniquely his, punctuated by the rhythmic beat of his own lyrics and the deep influence of icons like Mac Miller, Three 6 Mafia and Lil Peep.
Starting at the tender age of 5, AWALL was destined for a musical journey, with his passion ignited by every chord he played and every note he sang. It wasn’t just about mastering instruments—which range from the violin to the piano—but about mastering the art of expression itself. His parents, Dennis and Patricia, alongside numerous school concerts and plays, provided the early stages of his musical exploration, which blossomed as he juggled songwriting with schoolwork by the age of 10. However, it wasn’t until a pivotal moment watching MTV Cribs—where Drake showcased a box brimming with filled notebooks—that AWALL’s approach to music shifted fundamentally. Inspired, he started to pen down his thoughts daily, filling over 100 notebooks with lyrics, expressing his emotions and experience.
AWALL shared in an interview with The Mixtape Queens "I’ll go through those notebooks, pick through the pages, and gather the best portions. It's therapeutic, being able to get what you really feel off your chest and work through healing through your music." AWALL wasn’t put in front of a microphone until he was 16, a moment that he wishes had come even sooner. "I was just fascinated by it," he recalls, remembering the first time he heard his voice amplified and clear, bouncing back at him through the speakers.
Today, AWALL's influence stretches beyond the stage. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Communication from Stevenson University, he's not only an artist but an entrepreneur, having founded the music and arts collective, Unidentified Enterprise. His ultimate dream? Is to inspire, while at the same time teaching others through art and expression. “At the end of the day, all I want to do is create timeless music that every single human being can relate and connect to, no matter their color, creed, or nationality,” says AWALL. His journey from the spontaneous bursts of midnight freestyling to methodical, thoughtful songwriting demonstrates not just growth as an artist, but the profound power of music as a universal language of healing and unity. In AWALL's world, every lyric counts, every notebook page is a step towards catharsis and is a bridge connecting lives and stories across the globe.
AWALL's fans and followers have much to look forward to in the coming months. On the horizon are two major releases that are set to enrich his discography and hype his audience. First up, AWALL is gearing up for the release of his new single titled "Moonlight," which is set to drop on May 24. This track has been drawing comparisons to his earlier hit "Rewind," suggesting that fans can expect the same deep vibes and lyrical prowess that AWALL is known for. Following the release of "Moonlight," in July we will see AWALL taking a significant step with the launch of a three-track EP, all produced by the talented Mors. Scheduled for release on July 26, this EP is one to not be missed. Both releases are eagerly anticipated and are set to add significant chapters to AWALL's music journey. Whether you're a long-time listener or newly acquainted with his work, these upcoming projects are sure not to disappoint.
