With Andre's diverse mixture of jazz, blues, gospel, R&B and funk combined with his cool personality and sophisticated style, the music industry tastemakers and celebrities alike are definitely taking notice.

"Andre Delano is hands down one of the best saxophone players on the planet. His talent and showmanship is equal to that of Kirk Whalum and Dave Koz. The music he creates is edgy, smooth, and funky which goes well with his neo-soul look," said Darren Strothers, president of 7th Note Entertainment. "Andre Delano is The New Face of Smooth Jazz."

Andre's first solo album, "Full Circle," reflects an R&B-infused smooth jazz mixture depicting his amazing musical journey. With the success in 2005 of his first two singles, "Night Riders" and "Foot Steps," 7th Note Entertainment is gearing up for a big push of his next single.

According to R&B singer Maxwell, "like the full circle itself, Andre Delano takes from his mix of sorrow and sings through a multiple joy. A rare sound of voice, word and saxophone."

Only three months into 2006, Andre has been embraced by everyone from mainstream radio with spins in major markets to radio stations among the U.S. college market.

Andre recently signed an exclusive booking agreement with the internationally renowned agency, Fabrika International (http://www.fabrikainternational.com/). Fabrika represents numerous notable artists such as Keiko Matsui, Nora Jones (middle east), Julio Iglesias, Jr. (Europe & Asia), Veronica Martell and Bond (East Europe).

"Fabrika International is very excited about representing saxophonist Andre Delano. He has an appeal that jazz and music lovers alike will enjoy. We are already in negotiations to book Andre in several European Countries," said Cem Yalcin of Fabrika International.

California-based Bayside Entertainment, the distribution arm of Tower Records, is responsible for the nation-wide distribution of Andre's debut album "Full Circle," which is in stores now.
