Often considered the best Caribbean poet of his generation, Andrew is currently developing and mastering his aesthetic. Andrew started writing at a tender age when he was given journals to document his thoughts since he didn't really socialize with others much. He wrote stories based off cartoons he'd watch and create his own little fan fiction. He started playing around with rhyming words and began writing basic poetry at around the age of 10 with one of his first poems published in his facebook notes titled "I hate you". He carried this on but instead using his rhymes to write songs. He developed as a song writer and even wrote a few songs for local artistes in his community. Andrew said in an interview that he could write great verses but not choruses or hooks and that was part of the reason he stopped song writing opting to turn his verses into poems. Andrew resumed writing poetry in 2017 with a different outlook on society which inspired much of his writing. Andrew's writing was centered around struggle, history, inequality, injustice and freedom mentally. His rhymes had more of a satirical feel to them than when he had just started and he'd use his verses to explore the complexity of literature more specifically wordplay, using one word in the sense of 2 or more different meanings. Great word play as always been something Andrew says he admires and has become something others admire most about his writing. His rhyme scheme and overall rhythm of his poems would improve overtime. His first live performance would mark the rise of one the greatest poets to ever come from Jamaica. Andrew himself has said he still has a long way to go and everytime he puts pen to paper you can see the improvement. Catch him repeating the word "bars" because he identified some brilliant word play or catch him using his one liner from his first live performance "Suh mi wheel off lile flat tire"
