ANDY INTERVIEW by Rafi on 10. January 09 PART 4/8
Andranik Madadian (or Andy) is an Armenian-Iranian singer born on April 22, 1958 in Tehran. Andy always had a passion for music and for singing American songs. He started out his Persian career in Los Angeles with Kouros as they starred in Shahram Shabpareh's band in the early 1980s. Soon after, Andy & Kouros started their own band with the help of manager Alireza Amirghassemi.
Together, Andy & Kouros released their debut album "Khastegary", which was a mix of Persian and English songs. Their follow up "Parvaz" and "Balla" took them to a completely new level as they quickly became the number one act of their time. With sell-out concerts and creative music videos, Andy & Kouros became a household name among all Persians.
In 1992, Andy & Kouros decided to split and pursue their own careers. Andy released his solo debut "Beegharar", which is still considered by many as one of the classic Persian pop albums of all time. With his Persian career being so successfully, Andy branched to an international audience. He was awarded the awarded Best Armenian International singer award four times. And he's made musical collaborations with his long-time girlfriend Shani.
