Hello! My name is Andrew Voras, and I'm a Senior Music Business major at Bradley University.

I've been playing guitar since my dad got me into Zeppelin in 5th grade, and I've been hooked on music ever since. I took lessons from 5th to 8th at Nottelmann Music in St. Louis, and then started teaching there when I was a Freshman. During this time I started a band called Malibu '92 with my best friends, you can check us out on your preferred streaming service and @malibutheband on social media.

I have also been a part of various groups and ensembles at Bradley - including Musicians in Business, The Edge Radio, Guitar Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Groove Project, and Community Choir.

I am also currently working events as a Promotions Assistant with Advanced Media Partners for their radio stations including 99.9 WWCT, 98.5 KISS, and 101.1 ESPN.

To me, there's nothing like live music. I love the idea of sharing a singular musical experience in a room and being a part of the connection between artist and audience. I am thrilled to be able to help spread local music in the Peoria area and help artists' talent be heard. I'll be out at as many shows as I can be, if you see me make sure and come say hi!
