“Blues Metal Queen” ANDRY Tours the UK with Debut Album “Skies”” – OUT NOW

“Skies is a pedal-to-the-metal banger with eyes on massive, fist-pumping sing-alongs – and who are we to deny her?” – Louder Sound/ Metal Hammer UK

“The missing link between Ronnie James Dio and Christina Aguilera”. That’s how Athens born Andry Lagiou describes herself as a vocalist. A former runner-up on The Voice of Greece and frontwoman of The Harps, she is now a well-known name on the international metal scene as ‘ANDRY’. Her highly anticipated debut album “Skies” was released in March 2024 through her own record label Baby Mistress Records. The first single, also called Skies, is also out now: available on all streaming platforms via The Orchard.

ANDRY is an incredible vocalist- very much in the classical metal tradition of Dio, whom she adores. However, lets be clear: she is much more than just a singer and frontwoman: she is also an accomplished songwriter, guitar player and a very gutsy feminist! She first appeared on the scene in 2013, when she founded her band The Harps but it was in 2017 when she took Greece by storm after winning a blind audition on The Voice, covering a spectacular version of Deep Purple’s Burn. The video garnered more than one million views on You Tube! After finishing as the runner-up at The Voice of Greece, Andry released the album Love Strikes Doves with the Harps and was featured as guest vocalist on several albums, including The Vivaldi Project and prog metal act Pyramid, where she duetted with Tim Ripper Owens on the smash song Stygma.

By 2022 Andry decided to take fate in her own hands and wrote and recorded her first solo-album “Skies”. Mixed by sound wizard Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Winery Dogs, Steel Panther), the album features contributions from Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs, David Lee Roth), Mike Lepond (Symphony X), Russell Gilbrook (Uriah Heep) and Stephen Platt (Devin Townsend). Most of all, “Skies showcases the amazing vocal range and songwriting talents of ANDRY, a strong and confident woman who has taken control of her own career and life. ANDRY insists: “One chooses her own destiny. Are you a slave to your emotions or your goals? Life is like a jungle: eat or you’ll be eaten.” There is simply no denying the personal power and focus she radiates. “Skies” very much embodies this. She says:

“Skies is about empowerment and rising through the ashes of a nuclear war having many allegories of female abuse and my personal life. The artwork of the album is inspired by the space and how it might look in the future. Since you can’t live in the past it is consoling to dream about the future and about the changes it will bring.”
