Αndreas Polyzogopoulos was born in 1981 and grew up in Samiko, a small village in the South-West of Greece. His journey in music began at the age of ten when he started guitar lessons.

With this project he toured in Europe and also played in New York.

In 2015, he released the album "Anicca" at which the mediterranean sound is introduced in the band's music and in 2017 he released the "Polypala - One inch of Love", an album of ambient music.
