Andy & Lucas is a famous Spanish pop music duo. They are known for their songs that mix pop with flamenco style. The duo is made up of Andrés Morales and Lucas González. They grew up as friends and neighbors in Cádiz, Spain.

The Start of Their Music Journey

Andrés and Lucas went to school together since first grade. They decided to form a music group early on. When Andrés was 12, he started writing songs. By the time they were 16, they were performing these songs in bars around their hometown, Cádiz.

Their first album, also called Andy & Lucas, came out when they were 20. It was produced by Alejo Stivel. This album was a big hit, selling over 200,000 copies. It stayed at the top of the Spanish music charts for many weeks. One of their songs from this album, "Son de Amores," became number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart in 2004.

Awards and Success

Andy & Lucas released a live concert DVD called Viviendo un Sueno (Living a Dream). This helped them win their first major award, a Premio Onda for Best New Artist. Another one of their songs, "Ganas de Vivir," made it onto Billboard's European Top 100 list. This song was also certified Platinum, meaning it sold a lot of copies.

Overall, Andy & Lucas have sold more than 1 million albums. Their album Desde Mi Barrio was even nominated for a Latin Grammy Award in 2005. It was nominated for the award of Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

In 2008, they released their fourth album, Con Los Pies en la Tierra. It had twelve new songs. The first song from this album, "Tu que quieres que yo le haga," was certified Platinum for digital downloads and ringtone sales.
