BIOGRAPHY

Andre Delano, a native of East St. Louis, Illinois, has made a significant impact on the music industry. He is a multi-talented artist known for his captivating performances as a saxophonist, singer, composer, producer, and actor. His live shows are full of energy, dynamism, and a sensual undertone that leaves audiences spellbound.

 

Delano's journey began with his critically acclaimed album titled "Full Circle," which featured guest appearances by renowned musicians such as Al McKay (Earth, Wind & Fire), Bruce Conte (Tower of Power), and smooth jazz piano virtuoso Kevin Toney (Blackbyrds). The album showcased various smooth jazz stylings, including the heartfelt tribute to his son, "When Jadon Smiles," and the captivating single "Night Riders," remixed by legendary keyboardist Jeff Lorber.

 

In addition to his solo work, Andre Delano has performed with notable artists such as Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Maxwell, Lionel Richie, Usher, Donnie Osmond, Christina Aguilera, Cameo, and New Edition. His music has been licensed by major corporations, contributed to over 100 recordings and counting, and graced numerous TV appearances while traveling and performing worldwide.

 

Delano recently released his latest single, "Umbrella," which appeared on Rihanna's third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007. This offering reflects a culmination of various emotions, including the impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the loss of his parents, and the lives lost in recent years. Moved by the crisis of the unhoused, particularly in Los Angeles, Delano chose to highlight this pressing issue through scenes shot on the streets of Skid Row in the music video for "Umbrella." Approximately 40% of unhoused individuals are African American, a stark contrast to their 14% representation in the overall US population. Delano's artistic expression sheds light on this crisis and emphasizes the need for awareness and compassion.

 

Currently, Delano is working on several exciting projects, including a new single, EP, spot tour, and more. His journey is a true testament to hard work, dedication, and the pursuit of one's passion.
