Andreas Novak is a singer/guitarist from Sweden, fronting House of Shakira. Inspired by the rock scene in the early 80's, Andreas picked up a guitar in 1981 and spent the rest of that decade listening and learning from contemporary rock acts.
Guitar heroes such as Ace Frehley, Gary Moore, Steve Vai and Eddie Van Halen inspired Andreas profoundly. He appeared mainly as a guitar player in various local bands during the 80's, singing lead only when necessary. ”There weren't any singers around, just thousands of guitar players... " Gradually, he became more of a lead singer, and new oppurtunities started to unfold. 1999-2007 Andreas recorded four albums with progressive Mind's Eye that received great reviews worldwide. After participating in Swedish TV-show "Fame Factory" 2003 it was time to make an album out of his solo ambitions. With lots of help from a bunch of handpicked talented musicians and co-writers, the album "Forever Endeavour" saw the light of day in 2005.
Andreas' second solo album "NoVakation" was finally released 2011, while Andreas already had joined House of Shakira as their new lead singer, highly involved in writing his debut "HoS" with the band, released 2012. "Pay to Play" took them to Chicago and "Sour Grapes" made the band return to Illinois in 2016. House of Shakira’ 9th album ”Radiocarbon” came out 2019 and their 10th album “XIT” hit the world by May 2023.
