Andrew Rostas was born in Newcastle, NSW, but now lives in Melbourne, VIC.
He started his musicial education at an early age on the piano. He completed a Bachelor of Music (double major in composition and music technology) from the University of Newcastle and Newcastle Conservatorium in 2003.
Since completing his bachelor degree, Andrew has continued to involved himself with a broad range of musical activities. Playing in a number of local original rock bands, taking part in experimental improvisational ensembles (with Tom Donald), working as a session musician for a number of Melbourne studios, composing music for video artists (Shaun Wilson), arranging and working as a producer/engineer for many original artists in his home studio.
