Young guitarist, Andreas Varady is recognized as an exceptional talent, by both critics and audiences. He signed his first contract with legendary record label Verve. His mentor, the great Quincy Jones, who along with David Foster, is the executive producer on his new album, says he is “one of the most talented people on this planet". Born in Slovakia of Hungarian Gypsy descent, he soon migrated with his family to Ireland. Andreas lists Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery as his main influences, and idolized George Benson, and from his early years has often been compared to him.
