IN A NUTSHELL

"Andy has managed to remove labels coming out of the comfort zone beyond the modern singing jazz, running well, to include in its material repertoire in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and even Mandarin. Andy manages to reflect each and every influence acquired throughout his career, crowning it with his baritone voice that gives a unique tone to disk aptly named ‘Colors’ [providing] a mosaic of possibilities to the listener.” (Josue Hernádez Carmona, Latinos Multicultural Magazine)

INDUSTRY QUOTES

“Andy has extremely a high work ethic in addition to his amazing voice and fabulous delivery of some of the best standards ever written. His personality on and off stage is endearing and he hits every song right on the mark. I adore his new song ‘Toronto!’ which nails the vibe of the city.” (Ilene Miklos, Seneca Resorts & Casinos)

"His new album ‘COLORS’ is a delight. It is in the company of artists like Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra that De Campos belongs; at least as much as Michael Buble does.” (John Kereiff, Gonzo Online)

“Andy de Campos is a jazz vocalist who refuses to be pigeonholed. To most critics he pushes himself into different musical areas, challenging that label while delivering the music with honesty and warmth.” (David Reed, Belleville Intelligencer)

Andy De Campos goes beyond the tribute act. He is a passionate singer and stage entertainer who has developed his personal style through many influences. His clear phrasing can be attributed to Frank Sinatra, his warm resonance to Nat King Cole, his prolonged breath control to Tony Bennett, an occasional huskiness to Bobby Darin and his easygoing manner to Dean Martin.

By the time Andy started singing as a teenager he was deeply in love with the Great American Songbook. Andy was especially fascinated by the complex
artful big band orchestra arrangements behind the lyrics.

Andy's professional career débuted in England, performing regularly at local jazz clubs and restaurants. In 2000, back in Portugal, he spent the following four years singing with the country's premier swing band and appearing in resort hotels, the Casino Estoril, the jazz scene and television.

2004 was a time for a radical life-change: moving back to Toronto and starting the music career all over again. Nevertheless, Andy has been a full-time entertainer since 2009, remaining a frequent headliner in the city's music scene since and producing two highly publicized and sold-out shows: "Krooner and King" in 2012 "Vinicius: The Best of Brazillian Samba and Bossa Nova" in 2013.

Important milestones were the introduction to pianist Robert Scott (composer for Michael Bublé), to Jazz FM91s host Jaymz Bee, coaching by singer Micah Barnes and recording with producer Mark Zubek.

Breaking into the American casino circuit in 2014 Andy De Campos is on the fast track to become one of the premier lounge singer in North America.

“A mic in the hand is worth two on the stand.”
