From UNDERDOG to building a EMPIRE Andre Bellos is here to stay !!!
When its comes to building an empire Andre Bellos is no stranger to the grind. Whether you know of him or not, TeamAndreB is taking over the city that whispers on the wind. Being from Chicago Andre comes from a fusion of mixed heritages, his mother is Salvadorian and father Greek. By age 13 Andre was enrolled in Barbizon, a modeling school and a great opportunity at that age. Andre began high school, graduating from Maine West in 2005. He spent 4 years taking singing, dancing, and acting lessons at school; this only further encouraged his passion and helped perfect his craft. After graduating he enrolled in college, but Andre had his sights set on something else. The next decade would be the reality of becoming an adult and juggling school and odd jobs at the same time. This frustration only fueled his ambitions and in 2009 he signed a digital distribution deal with Nimbit.
By age 23 Andre Bellos had become a triple threat and broke through the challenge of standing out among the crowd as the newest Chicago singing sensation. On July 4th, of 2013 Andre Bellos released his highly anticipated official debut album “Mythology”. This was the graduation to another level of artistry; the album was independently released music. Mythology produced a few hits including EXPLODE, but by far the biggest single was “Otra Vez” (Tried again) which was the first Spanish unreleased single from this crossover artist. The song hit the top ten w/in 7 days on local pop charts for Chicago. This has never been done by an artist w/o a record deal, Andre Bellos made internet history, cementing his position and Mythology re-loaded in 2015. This movement birthed #Team Andre B. groups in almost all 50 states in the U.S. and growing internationally. Andre has been presented with the first couple awards of his music and acting career. On behalf of Tru-Biz magazine and the Greek film festival of Chicago they presented him with the Best R&B/Latino singer and film award. Amidst all the success he never thought he would be able to include all his talents in one program.
Now Andre can be seen on Fox's hit show Empire, meshing music, acting, and fashion. He garnered cameos in the controversial Spike Lee joint "Chi-raq" and the Ron Howard film "The Dilemma", just to name a couple projects. As an adult it comes full circle, Andre now is the official male spokes model for Barbizon USA. The same company that introduced him into the business two decades earlier now takes him all over the country, telling his story of industry success to other aspiring models. The possibilities are endless for this dancer turned all around entertainer. He is on a hit TV show and back with the company that started it all.
