Andru's traditional roots-reggae style is wide-ranging, varying from African high-life to suggestions of country influence and has been described by Exclaim! Magazine as "some of the rootsiest bottom-heavy music ever to come out of the Great White North".
He performed at Jamaica's 1998 Reggae Sunsplash Festival and as a percussionist.
Andru developed a profound love for reggae music while growing up in multicultural Toronto, Ontario, where he was mentored by Tony "Raffa" White and Bernie Pitters, before moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 2000.
He graduated from Lawrence Park Collegiate and received a "Sound & Music Recording Diploma" from Recording Arts Canada.
