Andre Woodvine wrote that he attended Harker Academy from 1973-76 and has fond memories of playing in the Harker band under musical director Dana Morgan. In 1976 his family immigrated to the Caribbean island of Barbados.

After initially studying for a career in sciences, Andre realized his abilities and love for music were stronger. In 1986 he earned a music degree from Berklee College of Music in Boston. Andre has released four albums of 
original 
Carib
bean
 jazz,
 assisted 
in the 
creation
 of an 
associ
