Andre was born in 1987 in a small town called Falmouth, Jamaica and immigrated to Canada in July 2005, where he attended Fletcher's Meadow Secondary High School. After getting a spot with Brampton Guardian for a class project, it inspired him to pursue a career in the arts. But life brought challenges and obstacles that he had to overcome. He worked factory jobs around Brampton for several years, but art had always been his true passion. This gave him the inspiration to paint work that could change his life, and the life of others.
Andre started painting late in 2012 using the creative imagination and talent that God gave him. Painting helped him achieve a higher self confidence and the belief that he could do any thing he set his mind to.
