André Barros

André Barros was born in the 26th October, 1984, in the city of Marinha Grande, Portugal. Educated in Law and with no musical background, on what refers to education on musical theory or musical interpretation, by the Summer of 2006 he begins a journey which gives him today his first musical results, with which he intends to contribute to a solid career in the art of musical performance and composition. Initially influenced by the terrific work by the well-known composer and multi-instrumentist Yann Tiersen, André began to explore this world of minimalistic and classical-contemporary music in which he soon came across with so many other artists, who he so much admires today, as well as distinct musical approaches, compelling him to try it by himself, sitting by the piano for the first time and creating his first music by the age of 22. By the summer of 2010 he decides to apply for the degree in musical production held on ETIC (Technical School of Image and Communication), Lisbon, which gives him, two years later, the necessary tools to be able to produce his own musics. In order to consolidate his gathered skills, André carried out a three-month internship in the well-known Sigur Rós made studio, Sundlaugin in Álafoss, Iceland, filling the position of assistant to sound engineer. He then had the privilege of meeting with inumerous talented musicians and producers who allowed him to open up new horizons and deepen his both technical and creativity skills.
