Andrea Bignasca was born and raised in the south of Switzerland in an Italian- and German-speaking environment. He began performing as a solo artist in 2013.

With his first studio album (Gone, 2015, Radicalis - Sony) he secured, amongst many, collaborations with Omar Hakim (drummer), Phill Brown (mixing engineer) and Dave Collins (mastering engineer). In the years following the publication of his first album, Andrea Bignasca played over 200 shows in Switzerland (Montreux Jazz Festival, Gurtenfestival, Zermatt Unplugged, …), also opening concerts for artists such as Larry Carlton, Everlast, Morcheeba, Gregory Porter, Phil Campbell, Welshly Arms, … Gone’ sold over 5000 copies in Switzerland, and its 3 singles received an extended airplay throughout all the major Swiss radios (RSI, SRG, RTS, Swiss Pop, …).

The beginning of 2018 saw him undertake his first steps abroad with a solo tour in Germany in January and a second tour as support of the Swedish band Black River Delta in April. In the meantime, he continued working on his sophomore album ‘Murder’, which was released in the fall of 2018 by Radicalis.

Bignasca’s third album, ‘Keep Me From Drowning’ was released on the 19th of March 2021 and charted 10th in the Swiss charts.

Playing live is Bignasca’s true focus and passion, and his nimble setup (one man band, duo with drummer/pedal bass, full band) allows him to play in any circumstance.

His fourth album ’Stranger’ will be released in October 2024 by Radicalis.
