Andy has always been surrounded by music. His father showed him the way to this art form and eventual profession at the age of 6. Some of Andy’s early musical influences include The Beatles, Elvis, James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Depeche Mode and Jean-Michel Jarre. At the age of 14, Andy got his first turntables and a mixer and started making music, scratching, and cutting for a breakdancing troupe in which he was a performer. A few years later, when house music came on to the scene in Europe, Andy spun at college parties, building a buzz around his passion, and setting up residencies in and around clubs in South Germany.

He has also organized many events all over the Eastern Europe ranging from Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Ukraine in the mid 90s and early 2000s.
