Andrew Papas

Portfolio Bio Voice

Singer, actor, TV presenter, radio host, content creator and now, professional chef - the term “triple threat” doesn’t even begin to describe performer Andrew Papas. 

Andrew’s list of career achievements would make for an exhusting read for someone decades into their career, let alone an under-30.

Born in South Africa, Andrew’s family emigrated to NZ when he was eight and settled on Auckland’s Norh Shore.

The stage called to Andrew at a young age; he has been appearing in theatre, in on-stage musicals and hosting TV shows throughout his teens and 20s, including roles in Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Disco Inferno, High School Musical, Grease and Aladdin. He has also hosted Sticky TV as a core presenter and several radio shows.

His most recent stage turn was as Alex the Lion, one of the leads in the NZ tour of Madagascar in 2021, which ran in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

A self-described perfectionist who is “always on a mission,”  Andrew is excited by new projects, so when the opportunity came up to audtion for a spot in a new band, Andrew jumped at the chance.

The 2012 competition run by The Edge radio station selected six of NZ’s most talented male singers to form the super-group, Titanium. They became a record-breaking pop band, whose melodic harmonies and power-packed vocals helped them win over the country.

During his time in Titanium, Andrew completed two sold-out nationwide tours with the band; opened for international artists Mariah Carey, Jason Derulo, Hot Chelle Rae, Will I Am and Cher Lloyed; achieved two gold-selling albums and performed the USA national anthem in New York at the world famous Madison Square Garden, for the game between New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.

And a record-breaking music career was not all Andrew got out of his time in the band…he began crossing paths regularly with ZM Breakfast DJ Queen Megan Sellers during this period, and the rest, as they say, is history (she is now Megan Papas)!

Since announcing his departure from Titanium in December 2015, Andrew launched his solo career with his debut single “Burn It Down”, debuting at #1 on the NZ Heatseeker charts; “Troublemaker” reached #2; “Magical” debuting at #4 on the Hot 20 NZ Singles Chart and the song “Girl” debuted at #20 on the Official NZ Top 40 charts. 

Outside his musical career, Andrew had always harboured a desire to run his own business, so in 2019, he and Megan opened Beaufort and Co, a delicious café and bakery which they successfully sold after two years of booming trade. He loved the experience and intends to try his hand at it again one day.

Andrew is also in high demand as a content creator, having worked with brands including Spark, Adidas, GHD, Politix Menswear, Rotorua Tourism, Wellington Tourism, Sky City Breakers, Uplift Fitness Boutique,  Jetts Fitness, Barkers Groom Room and The Market. 

In 2021, Andrew and Megan welcomed their most exciting production yet – gorgeous son Bastian Milan. They live in Auckland with Bichon Griffon cross Leo; in Andrew’s downtime he loves cooking and fitness in equal amounts; going for bush walks, watching movies, plays and musicals; traveling and learning about new cultures. He is especially passionate about preventing animal cruelty. 

He brings his performer’s passion to whatever role he is undertaking – whether it’s broadcasting, hosting/MCing, voice-work or content creation - all delivered with his tradmark positivity and natural warmth.
