In February of 2005, Andre released his debut album Closed Doors Open. It is a progressive pop album which provides listeners a "holiday from the ordinary." Filled with sincere and transparent lyrics, Closed Doors Open is a window into Andre's soul. The record expresses various emotions while sharing true-life stories of love, spirituality, and loss. It is dedicated in memory of Andre's brother Alex, who passed away at the age of ten from a brain tumor. The songs Giving You a Reason, Pedalin' in the Park, Run Away, and Say Hello are all currently being reviewed and considered for placement in film and tv after receiving high production scores by TAXI. Such consistency and quality throughout the entire album makes Closed Doors Open a "must have" addition to your music collection! As an artist representative of North Central University from 2002 to 2005, Andre had the opportunity to perform extensively throughout the Midwest, as well as touring England, Italy, and Sweden. Furthermore, he has quickly developed a reputation in the Twin Cities as a premier studio and live performer, participating in a variety of projects. Perhaps the most refreshing aspect of Andre is his personality. He is a professional, down to earth, and determined musician. Not only will you enjoy his music, but you will also be captivated by his genuine passion for life and artistry. He performs both as a solo act and with a pro-quality band.
