About Andonis
Andonis Weather is a new and upcoming singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and artist whose passion is to share his music and art with the world.
As a child, he had a passion to sing and play music, already mapping out his future dream career at the age of 9. He enjoyed singing at home with family and playing various instruments. However, outside of his home he kept himself quiet and hidden due to his constant struggle with social anxiety. At age 14, he was diagnosed with autism and from that point on, he was determined to not let his anxieties get in the way of the career he dreamed to follow. He pushed himself to perform solo in high school, successful partaking in the seasonal shows.
Upon leaving high school, Andonis attended college and continued to embark on music. He began playing the bass, creating his own unique style of playing for a number of bands, before deciding to 'go solo' in 2022.
As he started to perform solo, his style in music and fashion took a turn. Previously discovering 1970s/80s fashion and music through various inspirations, Andonis embraced the influence for his future. Throughout 2022, he taught himself to play many instruments including synthesisers, keyboards, drums and acoustic guitar. This led him to perform his first, successful, solo acoustic set live at a college event near the end of the year. It was at this event where he met Hugo Hugh.
In the summer of 2023, Andonis put out a message on his social media seeking performers to join his synth-pop/new wave/romantic band, with him as the 'frontman'. This was answered by Hugo and one other performer, and the band Schwimmbad was born. Unfortunately, the third member left rather quickly, making Schwimmbad a duo, with Andonis still continuing with his solo career on the sidelines. In March 2024, Andonis wrote his debut single "Lovely Dreaming", featuring on Schwimmbad's debut single "How To Find A Fallen Star"'s B-Side. Both songs were officially released in April 2024, Andonis re-releasing "Lovely Dreaming" to his solo platforms in May 2024. Schwimmbad then took a break, Andonis continuing to work solo, releasing his second single "Radio Times" in August 2024.
Currently, Andonis is in the process of building his own home studio alongside working on his debut album, which he hopes will be released in early 2025, as well as a new single, which he hopes will be released in late 2024/early 2025. Schwimmbad have now reunited and will be resuming producing music soon.
