Andrew Bryant Jr. Born: August 9,19- - Place of birth: Miami, Fl. Born to entertain, I started playing my first instrument at the age of seven. Although my family couldn’t afford to buy an instrument for me, I created my own music by beating on tables and buckets. Eventually I was able to get a drum set which became my first instrument. As a result of being raised in the ghettos of Homestead, Fl. I longed for a way to make it out so at the age of twelve, myself and some friends formed a 5 piece band that we called Rapid Fire. We performed many Pop and R&B cover tunes that help to develop me as a musician, a singer and an entertainer. We eventually turned professional and began touring across the nation, even over-sees to places such as Spain and Greenland. As I got older, my influences changed. Inevitably I gave my life to Christ and I became heavily influenced by Gospel music. I began to get involve with gospel groups, gospel plays and productions, and also singing back ground on many CD releases such as A.J. Wright (He won’t fail Ya), and Bishop Carlos L. Malone(Thirst No More). Over the course of time I started listening to more genres of music which has given me a mix and variation of styles in my own music.
