However, Rebirth hasn’t always walked the straight and narrow! He has a phenomenal testimony of the amazing grace, glory, wrath, and miraculous power of God! Andy is a New Orleans native, who’s roots where planted in the WestBank region of the N.O. and later sprouted all over the metropolitan area. Andy’s parents are of Latin descent. His mother is from Honduras and father is from Cuba with Sicilian roots. Therefore, giving Andy a variety of culture that is heard through his music with a distinctive style, hard delivery with soul penetrating punchlines. His context derives from a streetlife persona. Andy was a member of The Almighty Latin King Nation. He was initiated at the tender age of 15 and arrested for his first felony at 13, which eventually lead to a first degree attempted murder arrest at 17. This would be a pattern throughout his life until he finally submitted to the will of God. Andy served a little over 8 years in prison followed by a year in a faith-based rehabilitation center at White Dove Fellowship which was mandated by the Jefferson Parish Judicial system with a suspended sentence over his head if he failed to complete! Andy completed the program in April of 2014 and was married on the day of his release!
Andy also has a son, Alexander Domingo Pellerano, born Dec. 6th, 2011. A bittersweet day, for his family. His son was born with PKD, a terminally ill kidney disease! Prison never changed him, however, this did! This was the broken state when he called on the Lord! This was his rock bottom where he had no choice but to submit. However, it didn’t happen right away. Yes, he prayed, however, he was still blind, consumed by the darker side and still indulged by the underworld of NewOrleans. Crime was his game along with worldly hip-hop. Andy was being used by the devil and his demons. However, Andy was on his way to deliverance (PRAISE GOD)! Andy caught another charge and this would now be his 3rd felony (3x’s and you’re out, right?) No 3x’s delivered him! The courts wanted to throw him away. Yet God had a different plan (Amen)! God parted the red sea of Louisiana’s judicial system and landed him at White Dove Fellowship where he was finally healed! Andy is no longer blind and has his spiritual eyes wide open. Andy is now traveling from State to State, sharing his testimony both through music and spoken word! Andy also ministers at juvenile facilities, outreaches which consists of concerts in high crime areas! He’s an Apostle to the streets, rising Evangelist that has spoken throughout this nation and is currently being requested outside of the country!
