Andreï began learning music at the age of five. Entering the Toulouse Conservatory to study cello, he was one of Guy Rogué's last students. His studies continued with Marie-Madeleine Mille and Annie Cochet-Zakine, before he furthered his training with Philippe Muller. Upon completion of his musical studies, he earned three diplomas in cello, music theory, and chamber music, as well as a prize at the "Les Royaumes de la Musique" competition.
He thus began his career as a performer as an intermittent worker for various ensembles such as the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse under the direction of Michel Plasson, the choeur du Bois d'amour de Poitiers/Jacques Richard, the Grand Choeur de l'Abbaye aux Dames de Saintes/Michel Piquemal, the Choeur de Chambre de la Vienne/Augustin Maillard, the ensemble Music@16/Jacques Pesi, the Ensemble Intemporel winner of the Humanis prize 2010/Gérald Villain & Olivier Petit, the baroque ensemble Les violons de poche/Anne-Violaine & Pierre Fardet, the vocal ensemble of the Abbaye aux Dames/Manuel Simonnet, the Soirées Lyriques de Sanxay in partnership with the Orchestre de Chambre Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Christophe Blugeon under the direction of Didier Luchezzi.
Also a studio musician, he works for Studio Polygone in Toulouse where he recorded the album "Wherever I go" by singer Esther Tristan in 2006 as well as the album "Où s'en vont les oiseaux" by Jean-Louis Bourdier in 2012. Since then, he has regularly recorded film scores for cinema and France Télévisions, albums for Universal and Warner at the Alhambra studio of Cristal Production with artists such as Camille, Christophe, Lisbet Guldbaek, Tony Carreira, Davide Esposito, Amaury Vassili, Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, François Staal, Patrick Hutman, Titi Dufour and Pierre Bertrand among others.
Drawing on his extensive experience with national and international artists, he gradually shifted towards teaching, eventually joining the Pôle Supérieur Aliénor de Poitiers. Currently employed by the local government, he teaches at the Conservatories of Châtellerault and Lencloître and continues his career as a concert performer, serving as principal cellist of the...Euterpe Symphony Orchestra, cellist of the NOV'A quartet alongside Arnaud Chataigner, Céline Jean-Carat, Camille Garin and Didier Lacombe, and performing recitals with artists such as Olivier Grodecoeur, Claude Ruyer, Michel Precastelli, Valériya Lebedeva…
