Andy engages kids through music & movement and storytelling. Artist Biography Andy Z delights kids and kids-at-heart with his musical adventures. But, Andreas Zamenes didn’t set out to be a children’s music artist. A singer/songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area, Andy earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from San Francisco State University. Along the way, he played in various bands including CD releases with his own, Tinman™, and a solo project. And, to supplement his income, Andy worked in the computer industry while performing and recording as much as possible. When a Silicon Valley downturn forced him out of the tech industry, Andy saw it as a sign to devote his time to his passion for music and performance. It was during this time that Andy was approached by a fan at a coffee house to fill in for an ailing music teacher at a San Francisco preschool. It would be easy – just sing and play for the kids. On that day, the children, parents and teachers were captivated by Andy’s easy-going, fun and infectious musical style – and Andy loved it! He was able to, at last, combine his passion for music with his love of storytelling, character voices and performance. And, so, ‘Andy Z’ was born. Now, four CD's and multiple Disney family IPMA and Parents Choice Foundation Awards later, Andy Z is continuing to carve his niche as a children's performer and recording artist with a heart-felt vision and unique, captivating musical stories to tell. |
