POWERWOMAN ANDRY LAUNCHES SOLO-CAREER 

Debut single Skies from upcoming album is out now! 

“The missing link between Ronnie James Dio and Christina Aguilera”. That’s how Athens born Andry Lagiou describes herself as a vocalist. A former runner-up on The Voice of Greece andfrontwoman of The Harps, she has decided to embark on a solo career and will be just ANDRY.
Being a well-known name on the international metal scene, her highly anticipated debut album Skies will be released on February 16 through Baby Mistress Records. The first single, also called Skies is out now and available on all streaming platforms via The Orchard.

Skies, the hard-hitting title track of the album is an important song for Andry and close to her heart: “Skies is about empowerment and rising through the ashes of a nuclear war having many allegories of female abuse and my personal life. The artwork of the album is inspired by the space and how it might look in the future. Since you can’t live in the past it is consoling to dream about the future and about the changes it will bring.”

Andry is much more than just a singer… songwriter, guitar player, feminist. She first appeared on the scene in 2013, when she founded her band The Harps but it was in 2017 when she took Greece by storm after winning a blind audition on The Voice, covering a spectacular version of Deep Purple’s Burn. The video garnered more than one million views on You Tube. After finishing as the runner-up at The Voice of Greece, Andry released the album Love Strikes Doves with the Harps and was featured as guest vocalist on several albums, including The Vivaldi Project and prog metal act Pyramid, where she duetted with Tim Ripper Owens on the smash song Stygma.

By 2022 Andry decided to take fate in her own hand and wrote and recorded her first solo-album Skies. Mixed by sound wizard Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Winery Dogs, Steel Panther), the album features contributions from Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs, David Lee Roth), Mike Lepond (Symphony X), Russell Gilbrook (Uriah Heep) and Stephen Platt (Devin Townsend). Most of all, Skies contains the amazing vocal and songwriting talents of Andry, a strong and confident woman who has taken control of her own career… and life: “One choses her own destiny. Are you a salve to your emotions or your goals? Life is like a jungle you eat or you’ll be eaten.”

With the imminent release of her album, Andry has put a kick-ass live band together to take her music to live stages across Europe and beyond. Her tour will start in January with shows in the Benelux.
