Deemed “Latin Soul’s New Favorite Son,” Andy Vargas is a multifaceted<br />
crossover artist with a conviction for Latin music and culture. As the lead<br />
vocalist of SANTANA, his passionate voice and stage presence blend his<br />
deep roots of old world Latin music with modern day Latin style.<br />
Influenced by his father Javier Vargas, Andy was exposed to music at the<br />
early age of three years old. By the time he was seven, he began to<br />
perform with his father's mariachi band in Watsonville, California.<br />
Encouraged by his father’s excitement to teach him, Andy quickly saw the<br />
powers of a deeper communication and expression in music. His interest in<br />
R&B soul, led him to follow musicians and bands like Stevie Wonder, Marvin<br />
Gay, The Temptations, Etta James, War and Carlos Santana.<br />
Recognized by top executives in the entertainment business, Andy caught<br />
the eye of music producer Terry Melcher. He signed his first recording<br />
contract to R.C.A Records at the age of seventeen, under the guidance of<br />
super A&R executive Ron Fair. Prior to his first album release, Andy was<br />
introduced to the legendary Carlos Santana. Impressed with Andy’s musical<br />
talents, he was asked to join the new Santana Band.<br />
His cross-cultural appeal allows Andy to compose and sing melodies, soulful<br />
lyrics, and captivating grooves with music that makes you move. When you<br />
come in contact with Andy Vargas, you will understand that he is more than<br />
just an artist, musician and DJ, he is an unforgettable experience.
