The DREAM

D’Andre’s DREAM is lifestyle online destination.  D’Andre’s DREAM has been in existence since 2001, as the production alias for Mario D’Andre Robinson. 


Why this name?
D’Andre’s DREAM was chosen after working with several major and independant companies and labels. Watching people get turned away because of size, shape, race, financial background, and more. My DREAM was to have a place where everybody could benefit if they had a proven talent regardless of any stereotype cast by any industry. My middle name is D’Andre so the company was appropriately titled D’Andre’s DREAM. The company begin doing websites and graphic design helping those that had little to know budget grow their online presence.


History:
In early 2001 D’Andre’s DREAM was formed after owner Mario D’Andre Robinson released several CDs with Light Year Records, Born Again Records, Dominion Media Group and Livingstone Records. We worked with artist,R.E.G., Yoneana, R2, Corey Lemons, and Stephen Christian along with many others. After a somewhat successful independant run and a national release of the Stephen Christian project I decided to venture off and start our own company. R2 artist Realitee introduced me to Lonnie Jackson who later formed Zealot Entertainment and would later record material as Ruff Turbulence. Lonnie also introduced me to Rodney Wilson II, who is the owner of http://www.livingunity.org. Through his company we were able to help out the community ad become activist in and around Atlanta, GA. We had several succesful studio sessions and many great talks on business, politics and life. We decided to work together to release music with a standard. Positive vibes, inspirational tracks, and motivational lyrics is all you should expect for us. Oh and of course some BANGING BEATS! In 2011 the company was relaunched as a lifestyle online destination promoting all things creative.


Your influences?
We are inspired by sound period. From the tribal drums of Africa to the crashing drums of Guns and Roses. I love the sounds of nature: rain, thunder, running water. Combined with the soul of classic R&B with the bass and kicks of modern rap, our sound tells the stories of mankind. Listen beneath the lyrics and you will find so much more than words that can motivate or inspire you!
