Michael Andrew, Jamaica’s next global superstar, can remember singing into a hairbrush with his mother at age 3. As destiny would have it, at age 11 he crossed paths with current super-producer Jeremy Harding, who at the time coached Michael’s prep-school football team. After hearing Michael deejay to his teammates at practice, Harding (who would later become a key driving force behind Sean Paul’s rise to stardom) carried young Michael to his 2 Hard studio on Jack’s Hill to voice the artist’s first demo. The rest is history in the making.Now at age 20, having returned to his native Jamaica after 6 years living in South Florida, Michael Andrew has quickly gained popularity with young producers on the island.

Through his music Michael Andrew speaks to the reality of the Jamaican context, reflecting the constant battle between the good and bad realities of our culture- all told through hypnotic vocal melodies.Growing up, Michael was influenced by a wide variety of music. His main influences vary from Bob Marley and Tenor Saw to Frank Sinatra and Bone-Thugs-an-Harmony. However, it was during his time away from Jamaica when he realized his life path would have to be musical.
