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

just an artist, musician and DJ, he is an unforgettable experience.
