Andi Haberl grew up in Holzhausen, a small village in the south of munich and started to play drums at age 8. During secondary school, he formed together with school mates Bene Jahnel (p) and Benny Schäfer (b) and max von mosch (sax) the jazz quartet "maxbab". Still existing, the group released 6 records, developed an own voice and fascinated people on festivals like montreal jazz or jazz baltica. In 2003 Andi moved to Berlin to attend the Jazz Institute Berlin, in order to study drums and composition with John Hollenbeck. During the years of study he played with "Marsmobil", "Enders Room", "Jersey" and Masha Qrella. In 2006 he joined the german Indie-Band "The Notwist" and started to work with the "Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra", 20 people with different musical and cultural backgrounds making wild music.
In 2007 he played concerts with Bobby Hutcherson, Myron Walden, Johannes Enders, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Konstantin Wecker, Arlo Guthrie, Charlie Mariano and Nils Wogram. In 2008 and 2009 he toured around the globe with "The Notwist", presenting their latest album "The devil, you and me".
At the moment, Andi records with Kurt Rosenwinkel for his new album.
