biographical info

Canadian singer/songwriter Andre Larose released his debut CD “Slipping Into Fiction” in early 2005. Recorded, mixed and mastered in his own apartment, Larose meshes haunting, beautiful lyrics with hooky and melodic pop-rock jams.

Originally from North Bay, Ontario, Canada, he has shared the stage with many great acts such as Big Sugar, Sarah McLaughlan, The Skydiggers, Blue Rodeo, Sloan, The Watchmen, Trooper, Nazareth, Junkhouse and countless others. Andre Larose is truly a passionate artist that speaks to a listener and touches the soul.

Musically, his influences come from all over. From Prince to Pearl Jam, The Doors to U2 or King’s X and Tears For Fears, Andre draws inspiration and energy from some true heavyweights and creates a brand of music that is powerful and enticing. Also an avid lover of poetry, Andre brings a strong lyrical presence to his music. Influenced by everyone from Edgar Allen Poe to Jim Morrison, Andre truly is a thoughtful lyricist, passionate and gorgeously descriptive.

Andre Larose was also featured on the compilation CD ArtWalk 2007, commemorating his performance at the Sarnia ArtWalk Festival with a song from "Slipping Into Fiction", the bass groovy "Kingdom In My Mind"

Currently writing his sophomore album, while still playing live as often as possible, Andre also provides guitars and vocals for the SoulGroovnStompRock trio Simple Gypsy.

Hey all...I am currently putting the finishing touches on my new CD "Believe", which is now looking like it will be released in the coming spring of '08.

I have finally given in to the pressures of Facebook, please feel free to check out the page and become a fan if you are... CLICK HERE

Damn, I need a manager. I've come to realize that I am great for coming up with ideas, but I seem to lack the drive to execute those ideas, which is probably not a good thing in the music business. Managers and Agents please contact me ASAP

Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive and patient during the last couple years I promise the CD is going to be well worth the wait :)

A better update is coming soon, there are so many things I'm getting involved with but at the moment they are only in the planning stages, so keep checking back and i will do my best to keep you all updated.
Cheers!

Andre
