Born and raised in Tokyo with a Dutch passport, between Italian father and Japanese mother, Andrea Pompilio is a 'world citizen'.

Having spent the school days in both an international school in Tokyo and in Rome, Andy acquired the fluent command in English, Japanese, and Italian. It was quite natural for him to start searching for his identity at the early stage of his life then.

With a great interest in the reality of the world, Andy started traveling across the globe as a photo journalist, experienced various other careers as well including event productions, and public relations. In 2005 Andy became a radio deejay or a so called 'navigator' at J-WAVE, a highly acquainted FM station in Tokyo. Since 2011, Andy hosts a nightly live TV show 'BS1: Earth TV EL MUNDO' on NHK, Japan's national public broadcaster.

Andy perceives himself to be the 'filter' who wishes to connect Japan to the other parts of the world, and vice versa. Having radio, TV, magazines, and events as the platform, Andy continues to challenge spreading the open minded spirits and global mentality through introducing cultures and life styles of the world.
