Osher Andrew Günsberg was born on March 29, 1974 (age 47 years) in London, United Kingdom. Günsberg holds dual British and Australian citizenship. He is the son of Birutė Mikužytė and Michael Günsberg. He was active in the Brisbane band scene between 1994 and 1997, playing electric bass in Feeble’s Junky and double bass in Resin Dogs.

At 20, Günsberg started working as a “Black Thunder” driver and did on-air midnight-to-dawn shifts for a B105 radio station in Brisbane, during which time he bore the nickname “Spidey”. He filled in for late-night announcing shifts, before taking on the role of the regular midnight-dawn announcer.

In 1998, he left B105FM to join SAFM for the afternoon shift. It was at SAFM that he adopted the stage name of “Andrew G”, after his program director shortened his surname to its first letter. This change led to confusion between Günsberg and Australian former rugby league footballer for the Brisbane Broncos, Andrew Gee. In 2009, he decided to drop his abbreviated stage name and revert to his full surname.
