He was born in a musical family
André’s dad was a conductor at the Maastricht Symphony Orchestra, and it was through him, that he developed his passion for music.

Now over 65 years of age, André is recognised among the most popular classical artists of all times. His albums have sold over 40 million copies throughout the world.
Michael Bublé should be on the watch out
