Andria, who is a great songster, songs writer, and composer with extraordinary capability has just released a single titled ‘Coco’ which taps into the complicated nature of today’s socio-political issues.
With the title of valedictorian obtained on graduation and classical pianist at the French Conservatoire de Lyon to professional musician, Andria’s path has been a mix of willpower and creative transformation.
London-based Andria’s musical journey started in a modest bedroom studio. Despite the limitations of this small area, his greatness and creativity were not restricted at all.
He completely absorbed himself in studying the subtleties of writing, recording, and mixing and eventually paved his name as an almost self-sufficient artist that a fully independent and creative individual.
The artist first broke through the established music industry with his debut release, “Ereka”, which he produced and distributed using only SoundCloud in April 2023. This release quickly gained momentum, attracting thousands of streams, and significant media coverage. The first performance was a milestone and provided the first evidence of Andreas’ future in the music business.
“Coco,” his second single, is a novel masterpiece, it talks about the current issue, race, nationalism and social division. The song, which is a part of his monthly releases, is a testament to his capacity to combine pop sounds with potent messages.
“Coco” in its lyrics reinvents nationalism’s wending path and portrays them in a way of political slogans that romanticise a glorified past. Through the song’s lyrical narrative, the identity and belonging dilemma are traversed, reminiscing about the struggles of preserving cultural or racial identity in the face of social acceptability norms.
“Coco” is not only a musical composition, it is a hypnosis into thinking deeply about the mistakes we are making as a nation and exemplifies the sad truth about today’s politics.
Andria is not only trying to delight but also discoveries, thereby asking us to think further about race, identity and many other social issues. Besides being an entertainer now, his distinctive tone as a musician is a commentator who also thrives to trigger deeper thoughts by employing his art.
For Andria, the eponymous song “Coco” suggests his nomination for the future of music that does not confine itself to a limited repertoire or choose acceptable themes but reaches the audience with what is probably the most accessible medium of popular TV.
