Andre Delano is an artist whose music mirrors the depth of his remarkable journey—from his roots in East St. Louis, Illinois, to becoming a dynamic force in the music industry. After a highly successful seven-year run with the legendary Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Delano is focused on his upcoming self-titled project, Andre Delano. The first single, "Love Against All Odds," is out now and being promoted to radio by the esteemed Gorov Music Marketing Agency. Produced by smooth jazz guitarist Michael “Big Mike” Hart Jr. (Boney James), alongside his production partner Greg “Buddy Bangs” Reed Jr. and Delano, the track showcases their combined talent.

​

"Love Against All Odds" was co-written by Delano and his longtime collaborator and cousin, Kevin Beckett of Visionsongz Music. The single features the soulful vocals of Carla N. Flower, with Delano providing captivating harmonies. In addition to the powerful vocals, Delano highlights his signature saxophone performance, making the track a standout that’s sure to capture the attention of both radio programmers and fans.

​

The Andre Delano album will also include several exciting tracks, including:

• “Jazzy Slick” – A funk-infused jazz track full of unexpected twists.

• “Say Less” – An uplifting anthem where Delano takes the lead vocals, encouraging positivity and the release of fear. These tracks feature the exceptional talents of St. Louis musicians Eric Slaughter (Guitar), Jahmal Nichols (Bass), and Terreon Gulley (Drums).

• “City Lights” – A high-energy track produced by the renowned DOA from Sacramento, featuring a very special guest.​

 

Delano's highly anticipated return to the smooth jazz scene, both on the radio waves and in live performances, has fans excited to experience his unique blend of energy, musicianship, and passion in this new chapter.

A multi-faceted artist, Andre Delano is renowned as a saxophonist, artist, composer, and producer, known for electrifying live shows that captivate audiences with dynamic energy and sensual undertones.

​

His musical journey began with the critically acclaimed album Full Circle, which featured collaborations with legends such as Al McKay (Earth, Wind & Fire), Bruce Conte (Tower of Power), and smooth jazz virtuoso Kevin Toney (Blackbyrds). Full Circle showcased Delano's diverse smooth jazz stylings, including the emotional tribute to his son, "When Jadon Smiles," and the popular track "Night Riders," which was remixed by keyboard legend Jeff Lorber.

​

In addition to his solo career, Delano has shared the stage with iconic artists such as Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Maxwell, Lionel Richie, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Cameo, and New Edition and many more. His music has been licensed by major corporations, featured in over 100 recordings, and played on airwaves and television worldwide.

​

One of Delano’s most poignant contributions was his 2022 single, "Umbrella," a cover of the hit song from Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad album. Born out of the emotional turbulence caused by the loss of his parents and the ongoing global crises, the track reflects Delano’s deeply personal journey. The music video for "Umbrella," filmed on the streets of Los Angeles' Skid Row, poignantly addresses homelessness, shedding light on the disproportionate representation of African Americans in the unhoused community while calling for greater compassion and awareness.

​

Currently, Delano is working on multiple exciting projects, including a new single, a forthcoming album, and an upcoming tour. His journey stands as a testament to dedication, hard work, and a profound passion for sharing his music with the world.
