Here’s how it went:
Begin Interview:
Hello André, we’re thrilled to have you here for this interview! We've had an amazing time exploring your music and diving into your creative journey. Now, we’re even more intrigued to get a deeper look into both your brand and your personal and professional inspirations.
Q. BABY ERES TÚ is pure fire! The musical flow is an undeniable global hit, it’s practically made for the dance floor, and you can already picture DJs spinning it on repeat. The arrangement has this electrifying, sensual energy that hooks you from the first beat and doesn’t let go. And your vocals? Absolutely mesmerizing, each note carrying raw power and emotion that pulls you in. The lyrics? Pure magic, with a hypnotic quality that stays with you long after the song ends, leaving you aching for more. Seriously, this track is a whole vibe. After experiencing your sound for the first time, can you take us through your journey as an artist? It’s clear you're on the verge of greatness, so we'd love to know: how did it all begin for you?
A. Thank you so much! I’d say it all began when I was about three years old, singing in the choir where my dad was the conductor and my mom was a soprano in my hometown of Manizales, Colombia. The whole choir would walk onstage in their robes, and I’d be the last one to come out in my tiny tunic. The audience would just melt and start clapping. I think that’s when I knew I wanted to sing for the rest of my life. Since then, I’ve never really stopped. I’ve done choirs, musical theater, had a pop-rock band, studied music, and after years of experimenting and growing as an artist, I’ve found a sound that represents who I am now with this new dance pop era.
Q. When it comes to the meaning behind "Baby, eres tú", what does the song represent for you personally? How does it capture the complexity of love in your life, and does the title hold any deeper significance beyond its obvious romantic connection?
A. I wanted to have fun with this song and make light of a bad situation. It came from being in one of those situationships where someone leaves you, and even though you tell yourself you’re over it, deep down you know that if they texted or showed up again… you’d probably fall for it. It’s not the healthiest place to be, but I also found it kind of funny, that mix of pride and vulnerability. So I wanted the song to have that playful energy of “I’d never come back… but maybe if you like me “I MIGHT come right back to you" like the song says haha
Q. Do you find that your most vulnerable experiences often translate into your strongest songs? When sharing your intimate feelings, do you feel comfortable laying it all bare, or do you prefer to keep certain parts of your story veiled and let listeners derive their own meaning?
A. I think vulnerability is a huge part of making music. For me, being open has always been a way of challenging the rules and expectations society places on us. I’ve often been the “different” one in the room, and hiding was never really an option, so wearing my heart on my sleeve became a form of self-expression. I live that way in my daily life, and I want my music to reflect that honesty. At the same time, I love to keep a playful side, like in “Baby, eres tú,” where I’m being open but also a little silly and teasing about it.
Q. "Baby, eres tú" deals with toxic love, yet it’s still such a powerful dance anthem. How does it feel to blend those contrasting emotions as an artist? What emotions did you experience that made you want to transform them into a groove people can dance to?
A. First of all, I LOVE dance music. I grew up in Colombia, where you can hear the saddest story in a salsa song and everyone’s still dancing and singing along. Later, I fell in love with disco and funk. Those ’70s and ’80s tracks tell all kinds of stories too. So blending emotional lyrics with a groove you can dance to just feels natural to me. That contrast is what makes it so powerful.
Q. You’ve made a striking transition from an acoustic sound to a dance-pop style. What has been the most empowering part of stepping into this new era? What was the moment or experience that drew you creatively into this arena?
A. When I first started writing songs, it felt safer to write with my guitar or piano because that’s what I knew. Naturally, my early songs had a more acoustic sound. Later, when I had a pop-rock band, we’d start with an acoustic idea and then add distorted guitars or other layers. But deep down, I always wanted to make more produced, dance-driven music. That desire pushed me to study more music production and learn the tools to bring those sounds to life. The more I learned and experimented, the closer I got to the sound I’d always imagined, one that blends all my influences. “Baby, eres tú” marks the start of that new chapter, and I already have several dance tracks I’ve been crafting over the years that will finally be released next year.
Q. We really admire how you use your identity not just to pave new paths, but to pioneer change through unapologetic self-expression. Your music carries such a powerful message, do you see it as a platform for opening conversations or creating visibility, especially within the queer community, and specifically when it comes to love songs?
A. I came out when I was really young, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve written songs about love and how I feel. I think music has always been my way of expressing myself honestly and creating space for others to do the same. My goal is to build a platform and environment where everyone feels safe to be exactly who they are. Just by being my queer self and telling my story, I hope to bring the kind of visibility I didn’t always see growing up, especially in the music industry. In the “Baby, eres tú” video, I wanted to show a love story like any other, full of ups and downs, regardless of it being between two women. One of the first faces you see is Pixie Dot, a drag queen and friend, because I also wanted to celebrate and give visibility to drag, which I absolutely love.
Q. The recording of "Baby, eres tú" at Woodshed sounds incredible, especially with all the spontaneous creative energy. How did your relationship with such an iconic studio, where literal legends have birthed their music, come to be? What did that experience feel like for you, being in such a legendary space?
A. I have to thank my friend Javier Pecos for that one — he’s a super talented musician who works at Woodshed. One day, after a session, he gave me a piece of paper where Miley Cyrus had written notes for a song she was recording there and left it at the studio, and I remember thinking, “How amazing would it be to record there one day?” And then it actually happened! The moment we walked into the studio, we were just buzzing with energy, inspired by everything, from the view of the Pacific Ocean and the Malibu sand to the incredible gear and the grand piano signed by legends. It was impossible not to feel creative in that space. It was my first time recording there, but hopefully not the last!
Q. You mentioned experimenting with different gear and techniques during the recording process. Was there a particular moment or sound that surprised you, or a risk you took in the studio that ended up shaping the final version of the track?
A. One of my favorite surprises was the Moog synth. It wasn’t planned at all, but since it was there, we HAD TO use it. We took turns playing it and ended up using it in the final track. Another was the distorted guitars. No one thought they’d fit a funky song, but I couldn’t resist trying those amazing amps at Woodshed. My band and producer recorded reluctantly “just in case,” and they ended up making the cut in the very last chorus.
Q. In your quote about growing up in a musical family, you describe music as “the heartbeat of your home.” How do you think that early exposure shaped the way you approach creating music today?
A. Definitely! I think about music all day long. Not as my job, but as something I genuinely love and can’t live without. That comes from how I was raised. There was always music playing at home: my dad would wake us up on Sundays with Rancheras, Andean music, or Classical. It was all over the map, and it always felt natural. We were either playing, rehearsing, or watching friends perform. Someone once asked me if I ever get tired of music, and I said, “How could I? There’s so much music!” If you get tired of Reggae, you listen to Rock, or French Indie, or Tango, or Flamenco. the possibilities are endless.
Q. Beyond the infectious dance beats and stellar vocal performance, what do you hope listeners take away from your music? Is there a specific feeling or thought you want to leave them with after hearing it?
A. I want people to feel something real, feel free and happy. To dance, to release, to remember they’re not alone. Even if it’s about heartbreak, there’s always light in the groove.
Q. As an independent artist, what has been the most rewarding aspect of maintaining creative control over your music? Have there been any particular challenges that come with this freedom?
A. I love being able to do whatever I want. In this new dance-pop era, some of my songs are very different, one leans into EDM-rap with a pop twist, another has afrobeats, and there’s even a perreo (reggaeton) -inspired track. I’m excited to see how people connect with them.
In the past, even with my acoustic EP, I got some criticism for not being “just pop” because I added some electric guitars. But that’s never been the goal for me. I’ve never wanted to fit into a box. I love experimenting and creating different sounds within the “pop” universe and that freedom is exactly what keeps me inspired.
Q. What are your top 2 local dream venues to perform at? And on the world stage, which venues are you most eager to hit?
A. The Hollywood Bowl is definitely a dream I’ve seen so many amazing shows there, and it would be surreal to play on that stage. Keeping it local to my country, the Movistar Arena in Bogotá is also a big one. I have friends who’ve played there, and it always looks like such a fun, powerful experience. On a global level, I’d love to hit the big festivals like Lollapalooza, Coachella, Rock in Rio… those would be incredible.
Q. Outside of music, who or what has had the biggest influence on your personal growth or artistic perspective?
A. First and foremost, my parents. I think it all starts at home. Beyond that, my personal and spiritual growth has been shaped by a mix of tools and teachings: Mindvalley courses with Regan Hillyer and Vishen Lakhiani, books by Brené Brown, Deepak Chopra, and Robin Sharma, and the meditations of Joe Dispenza. Focusing on inner peace has given me a clearer perspective on the world, more resilience, and a stronger sense of who I am as both a person and an artist.
Q. André, we can’t thank you enough for sharing such intimate details! So, what’s next for you? Can you give us the inside scoop on your upcoming projects? What should fans be most excited about? We’d love for them to hear it directly from you!
A. Thank you so much for having me! I want to invite everyone to stream and watch the video for “Baby, eres tú.” I also have a live performance at The Mint on October 25, and next year I’ll be releasing more music. More dance, more songs, same gay energy, haha. Plus, there will be more shows, so stay tuned! You can follow me on all my social platforms at @andremusicaa to keep up with everything.
André, thank you so much, we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us!
