Andry

History

"The missing link between Ronnie James Dio and Christina Aguilera". That's how Athens-born Andry Lagiou describes herself as a vocalist. A former runner-up on The Voice of Greece and frontwoman of The Harps, she has decided to embark on a solo career and will be just Andry.

Andry is much more than just a singer… songwriter, guitar player, feminist. She first appeared on the scene in 2013, when she founded her band The Harps but it was in 2017 when she took Greece by storm after winning a blind audition on The Voice, covering a spectacular version of Deep Purple's 'Burn'. The video garnered more than one million views on YouTube. After finishing as the runner-up at The Voice of Greece, Andry released the album 'Love Strikes Doves' with the Harps and was featured as guest vocalist on several albums, including The Vivaldi Metal Project and prog metal act Pyramid, where she duetted with Tim Ripper Owens on the smash song 'Stygma'.

By 2022 Andry decided to take fate in her own hand and wrote and recorded her first solo-album 'Skies'. Mixed by sound wizard Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Winery Dogs, Steel Panther), the album features contributions from Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs, David Lee Roth), Mike Lepond (Symphony X), Russell Gilbrook (Uriah Heep) and Stephen Platt (Devin Townsend). Most of all, 'Skies' contains the amazing vocal and songwriting talents of Andry, a strong and confident woman who has taken control of her own career... and life: "One choses her own destiny. Are you a slave to your emotions or your goals? Life is like a jungle, you eat or you'll be eaten."

With the imminent release of her album, Andry has put a kick-ass live band together to take her music to live stages across Europe and beyond. Her tour will start in January with shows in the Benelux.
