Andreas Georgiou was born in Famagusta, Cyprus. He began his musical activities at the age of ten, with classical guitar studies and continued later on with classical piano, classical and contemporary harmony, counterpoint, fugue and composition with composer Dimitris Dragatakis. He also studied Byzantine music at the National music school of Simon Karas with precentor George Remoundos, in Athens.

His research, expanded in different ethnomusicological idioms, such as African and classical Indian regions, playing traditional instruments like sitar, shahnay, tambura, African sanza, Cretian mantoura, pithkiavli of Cyprus and small percussion. Georgiou's interest, towards the polyrhythmic approach of the guitar, led him to the design of different multi-string acoustic guitar models, with 13, 14, 15, 16 and 19 strings, all materialized by the Greek luthier Leonidas Vrachatis. In 2008, upon his order, Angela Waltner, the well-known German guitar maker, constructed the eight-string classical guitar, the model of which bears his name. Furthermore, his research for non-tempered scales, led him to the design of an electric fretless guitar, which can create a very special "ethereal" quality of sound, realistically approaching the timber of folklore clarinet of Epirus, by the superimposition of electromagnetic fields.

What is more, he has composed music for the "Μusic workshops of the third program" of the Greek radio and television (ERT) as well as music for theatrical performances and dance theatre. During the last 30 years, he has been giving concerts in many countries, leading as well as participating in jazz and ethnic groups, such as Sansa Quartet, East-West Wind, Szabo Sandor Duo, Hermae, Embryo, Aeora, Trio-Kutsukuta, Trias, A European Story. He has collaborated with the groups of Eberhard Weber, Airto Moreira, Rainer Bruninghaus, Paul Mc Candless and Savina Yiannatou.

He has been teaching guitar, jazz improvisation and harmony at the Municipal Conservatory of Patras since 1990. His first album "Spatial Trembling" was released in 1987 and ever since he is very active in the field of discography.
