Press Release Author = Triumph Records

Industry = Entertainment

Press Release Summary = \"Over and Out Live\" is the new live album, scheduled for
release at the end of March 2007, from DeAndre, a Eugene, Oregon-based arranger,
songwriter, producer and singer.

Press Release Body = The CD includes songs from his acclaimed 2005 debut album Going
Over and offers a tantalising glimpse of his second album, Yield, due for release in
the fall of 2007.

The live album contains DeAndre\'s inspirational songs, some performed by and with
local guest artists. What\'s more, his websites and blogsites will feature \'behind
the scenes\' footage, interviews and videos, to Beautiful Dreams and One More Soul.

DeAndre\' is a sublime talent who combines a melting pot of influences to create an
astounding and unique sound. He fuses his classical upbringing, modern pop, gospel,
blues, jazz and rap into a style he describes as \'Healnotic\'.

This diversity was showcased on Going Over, a collection of 12 songs perfectly
reflecting his eclectic musical attitude, and exhibiting his commanding vocal
prowess. Going Over is full of catchy hooks, rap, memorable vocals and clever use of
classical instrumentation. The CD was co-produced by Marcel Shaal, who worked with
Michael Jackson on Thriller.

The biggest influence on DeAndre\'s music, and indeed his whole life, must be his
faith. He surrendered his life to Jesus Christ in 1993 and shortly afterwards found
the creativity that has led to his current success. He is a worship pastor at his
local church, where his development of \'Healnotic\' took place.

He says: \"I call my music \'Healnotic\' for \'Heal- Feel\' music. It is fashioned to
bring healing to the spirit with words that give life to the dignity of our being.
It is healing to our soul because it engages the mind, will and emotion to
experience art in a new and living way, and healing to our body because it makes you
move.\"
DeAndre\'
DeAndre\' was born in Sandusky, Ohio and has been involved with music since he was
10. He started songwriting in 1984 and developed over the next ten years both
musically and vocally, until Jesus entered his life. In 1994 and DeAndre started
to take his art more seriously. He had soon taught himself guitar, piano and
drums. The following years saw him have success with radio jingles and move his
family to Eugene to take up full-time ministry.

This began a busy time for DeAndre\', with him working with the gospel music
department at the University of Oregon and at conferences, one of which featured the
renowned gospel group, Virtue. He also collaborated with local musician Mat Kearney
(Nothing Left To Lose), the two recording a single that remains unreleased, and
Nashville-based producer Robert \'Aurel\' Marvin. In 2005 he started his own label,
Triumph Records, and released Going Over, a remarkable accomplishment.

Backed up by a magnificent band including his wife Dawn Cole on vocals, Over and
Out Live promises to truly communicate DeAndre\'s musical vision, and offers a
wonderful example of his live show.
