Ando San was born and raised in San Fernando Valley, CA where he was surrounded by the sounds of R&B, hip hop, funk, and soul that his family was dancing and singing to at any given time. Starting out as a metal vocalist at 13, Ando was very much alone in his variety of interests. He began developing a genre he calls "Prog-hop" which focuses heavily on progressive guitar and hip hop beats. Recently, he has been interested in exploring the healing of generational wounds through the implementation of poetry and expressive tracks. Through his music, Ando hopes to find meaning, connection, and peace in life.
