Andreas Varady is a jazz guitarist with a bent toward mixing post-bop, contemporary jazz and Gypsy swing. Born in Slovakia in 1997 to Hungarian parents, Varady grew up in a musical family and learned how to play the guitar from his father. A prodigy by the time he was ten years old, Varady (who had relocated to Ireland with his family) was busking regularly around Limerick and Cork and uploading videos of himself performing to YouTube. Around this time, he was contacted by producer David Lyttle, who had watched his videos. In 2010, Varady released his Lyttle-produced debut album, Questions. In 2014, Varady released his eponymous sophomore full-length album on Verve, which featured guest appearances from Roy Hargrove and Gregory Porter. ~ Matt Collar
