Andrés Salguero and his wife, Christine, are, "123 Andrés."
The two musicians create music, books, and perform live shows in the United States and other countries, in English and Spanish for children and families.
Their songs are often used in early childhood and elementary school education classrooms.
Andrés won a Latin Grammy in the Best Latin Children's Album for his song Arriba Abajo. This was his second nomination for a Latin Grammy.
Billboard magazine described him as a, "rockstar for little language-learners."
Andrés grew up in Bogota, Colombia. He learned to play guitar, then studied clarinet, and had his first studio experience at age eight.
He eventually earned a Doctorate degree in Music.
Christina was raised in the United States, the daughter of a Colombian family, and studied theater and dance as a child.
She holds a Master's degree in Education from the University of Pennsylvania.
123 Andrés has been featured in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times en Español, Billboard magazine, NPR, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, CNN en Español, Univision, Telemundo, and SiriusXM's Kids Place Live.
