Andre Henry

Andre Henry is a musician, theologian and activist who has pursued music and education in New York City and Los Angeles.  His music is electronic anthems with reggae and rock influences and have the overarching message "it doesn't have to be this way."Andre moved into activism after feeling moved by the many police shootings, wanting to get his body more into the struggle against racism.  His own deep conviction is to be be a part of some type of truth and reconciliation commission in America so that we can be entirely done with our traditions of racial injustice and live into the beauty and equality of this experiment of a society.
