Christopher Andrea has been performing since he was fifteen years of age, music literally is his life. For Chris its a blessing being able to do something he truly loves for his job, with his music he gets to travel the world and play at some of the most prestigious venues and with many different artists, from all cultures.

He not only sings in English but various languages such as Greek, it is after all a language and culture very close to his heart!

He is a singer, songwriter and performer in all different genres of music, As many people know Chris is an amazing guitarist but also plays many other instruments, one instrument I feel I should mention is the bouzouki which Chris also plays, this is a traditional Greek instrument which plays a huge part in Greek culture and certainly Greek music!

Chris has played with people such as Mikis Theodorakis, has opened for Anna Vissi and has always loved Greek music, he has also always played with his brother Peter whenever he gets the chance supporting him all over the world in amazing venues such as Wembley Arena at the peek of his brother's career. and also writing music with him such as the tender love ballad Dream A Little in 1993 when Peter was just 13 and also the soulful 1000 Cries Of Loneliness in 2004.

He not only writes with Peter but writes his very own music, which although he's never released he records anyway... a diary of his love affair with music, a mix of soulful bluesy ballads with a beautiful Greek element thrown into the mix.
