123 Andrés, the husband-wife team of Andrés and Christina, has performed for audiences across the US and in Puerto Rico, Panama, Mexico and Colombia, at
venues including Wolf Trap (Vienna, VA), Symphony Space (NYC), and the Coliseo in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Andrés grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and learned how to play the guitar from his father as a child. He studied clarinet at the Conservatory and had his first
studio experience at age eight. He went on to earn a Doctorate in music and win first prize in the National Composition Contest in Colombia for one of his early
songs. Christina was raised in the US, in a Spanish-speaking family hailing from Colombia, and studied theater and dance as a child. After serving as a classroom teacher in public schools and earning a Masters in Education from Penn, she found her mission teaching through music.

123 Andrés performs for students from early childhood through sixth grade, and also for family audiences at theaters, festivals, libraries and other venues, putting on
joy-filled shows that get everyone singing and moving. 123 Andrés’ fourth album, Canta las Letras, is designed to help children learn about letters and letter sounds in
Spanish with music and movement. Initially intended for the classroom, the collection of 38 songs and videos, a collaboration with Benchmark Education Company, is
being made available to families everywhere, to join in the
learning and fun.

Their debut, ¡Uno, Dos Tres Andrés! en español y en inglés, was released in
2015 and nominated for a Latin Grammy later that year. Arriba Abajo
followed in 2016, and won the Latin Grammy for Best Children’s Music
Album, as well as the Parents’ Choice Gold Award. La luna is their third album
and was lauded by Billboard: “Welcome daytime singalong songs as well as
good-night music to put in steady rotation.”

123 Andrés has been featured by outlets like NPR, the Boston Globe,
Washington Post, CNN en Español, Univisión, Telemundo and SiriusXM’s Kids
Place Live. 123 Andrés’ first children’s books will be published by Scholastic
in 2020.
