BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece, Andrew has shown his interest in music since the first years of his life. In an early age, he takes up piano and theory courses. International music, as well as collecting records have been amongst his first hobbies; therefore it was only a matter of time to express his interest in mixing and djing. The first exposure to the crowd came through his friends’ birthday parties and small underground private raves.
To move things to the next level, he gets involved with composing and starts producing his own tracks, which caught Dj Leoni’s interest, who later signs Andrew to his label, Underground Lessons Recordings. Operating as a management agency as well, Underground Lessons helped him to make his way to the first proper-organised gigs, and attract public attention. Starting from local bars and smaller clubs, as well as joining Leoni to his weekly radio show, makes him enter a new phase in his dj career.
Although his track ‘Reflections” which was originally signed with ULR never sees the light of release, the same label signs and releases “Inception EP”, which was the first product of Andrew K’s collaboration with Simon Oates who hails from the UK. Featuring three original tracks which range from chiller beats to trancey patterns, their EP is getting aired at most of the local and internet radio stations.
It is that summer when Andrew K makes it into the top 10 rank for new talent djs, in a competition run by Global Dj Broadcast. His set is selected through hundreds of entries from all over the world and makes a big impression. The man behind the contest, Markus Schulz, said for Andrew: "G.Pal has some company in representing Greece. This set was chalk full of energy. Nice mixes and a solid tracklisting to boot!"
From now on, his sets are hosted in the biggest greek and internet radios, (Protonradio, Eccenticbeats, Global Dj Broadcast, Safari FM, Dance Nation and Di.fm to name a few) while he also appears as guest dj to a variety of events all over his country, Greece.
Spending endless hours in the studio, either alone or with his partners Simon Oates and Simuck, leads to the creation of many tracks that easily get signed on international labels. At that point, “Jataka”, falls under the attention of Markus Schulz. This track was intended to be released on Underground Lessons, but Markus had something else on his mind. He spends a massive amount of time online with Andrew, helping him to improve the track. He makes the final arrangements and includes it in his mix compilation “Coldharbour Sessions”, released on Armada. International recognition came along, and more labels sign Andrew for his productions and remixes, as well as well-known djs license his tracks for mix compilations.
At present, Andrew continues providing the dance scene with new productions and remixes, as well as playing in major events. In the meanwhile, he operates as A&R Manager for Pure Substance Records. Still in a young age, with an impressive discography in labels such as BluRoom, Nascent, Armada and more, he definitely makes a name to keep an eye and ear open for. |
