Inspired by the rock scene in the early 80´s, the ten year old Andreas Novak picked up a guitar in 1981 and spent the rest of that decade listening and learning from the contemporary rock bands and guitar heroes like Eddie Van Halen, Ace Frehly and Gary Moore. He appeared mainly as a guitar player in various local bands during the 80’s, singing lead only when there wasn´t any "real" singers around. With influences such as Dio, Halford, Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Freddie Mercury and Steve Perry among many others, Andreas didn´t consider himself to ever be able to play in their league. But at a time when the world was full of guitarists and the lack of competent lead singers was obvious, his choice to develop his singing skills came naturally. As he started to consider himself more of a lead singer and frontman, new opportunities unfolded immediately. He was suddenly a lead singer with guitar abilities when requested.
Studying at the Stockholm Music Conservatory in 1998, Andreas got in touch with Daniel Flores from the progressive act MIND'S EYE that needed a new singer for the next album. Andreas joined and their first album "...Waiting For The Tide" went fairly well, and the second album "A Work Of Art" was released in 2002 and recieved great reviews worldwide.
Andreas Novak has always been free lancing on the side of MIND'S EYE, and now felt the urge to widen his perspectives even more. After participating in the swedish TV-show “Fame Factory 2003”, Daniel encouraged Andreas that it was time to make an album out of his solo ambitions. Daniel Flores - with his excellent songwriting, drumming and production skills - was the optimal partner for such a project. During summer of 2004, Daniel Flores and Andreas Novak worked out ideas for an entire album, and with the help from a few handpicked talented guest musicians and co-writers, the album "Forever Endeavour" came to life. So if you are one of those who´s missing the highlight years of bands like Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Rainbow, Genesis or Def Leppard you´ll love "Forever Endeavour"...
