Andrea Quintarelli

Andrea created his own style travelling around the word, blending Latin soul with Balkan and Oriental melodies. His brilliant improvisation, fast picking, gypsy feeling and his rich musical international vocabulary, made him a true artist who expresses his musical creativity through his beautiful compositions.Born in Rome, at the age of 12 Andrea commenced his musical career as a self taught guitarist. He started his career playing in Italian clubs and festivals. After that he went on a long theatre tour called Frankenstein musical with Daniele Silvestri and Tullio Solenghi. In the last years in Italy he mainly played and composed music for television (RAI) without stopping playing live all around Italy with different musicians, one of these being Jon Bon Jovi for a gig in Rome.After moving to London, Andrea started performing live in British and worldwide venues with a new instrumental project with an international band, proposing his new original compositions. He wrote soundtracks for short movies and cinema productions.Andrea’s constant research transpires from his latest cd, BAZAAR. The cd came just after his late nineties decision to embark on a journey through Middle East countries. The purpose of his journey was to discover these countries life style, and appreciate what he could learn from them. The songs of BAZAAR are about colours and people met in markets around the world.
