        Andre ‘I-Dre’ Welch was born in Kingston, Jamaica and grew up in Kingston 13. At a young age I-Dre was exposed to music by being around his uncle ‘Bounty’ who was a selector for a well-known Kingston sound called ‘Agony Sound.’ As he grew up he was given the opportunity to play music on the same “Agony Sound’ and he began exploring his talents as a “selector” (DJ). After his experiences with Agony Sound I-Dre began to expand within the music by developing songs of his own. Heavily influenced as a youth by music from artists such as Sizzla Kalonji, Capleton & many more. He started to write lyrics “and melodies came next,” as he said. 
	In 2012 I-Dre released his debut single along with a music video entitled “Ras Mi Know” produced by Riddim Yut out of South Africa. He also released a song called “Only Jah Jah” produced by Wadadah II from D.O.V.E. Muzik. His most recent release is a song called “Rude Boyz in America featuring Nego Hights” produced by Wadadah II from D.O.V.E. Muzik. I-Dre is also looking forward to a mix-tape coming soon called “No Limit Ras.” 
	I-Dre first performed at a night-club in Evanston, IL called Bills Blues. He then went on to perform at the Kinetic Playground for a local artist showcase in Chicago; Also Exodus II night-club in Chicago, IL. In 2014 I-Dre performed at the International Festival of Life in Chicago; Reggae Tropical Addiction Series at Montrose Beach in Chicago, IL along with the his D.O.V.E. Muzik family; and most recently at Pilsen’s Roots Rock Reggae Festival at La Catrina Café alongside the Natty Congo Crew from Mexico.     
	His music is fiery, fresh and I-Dre has a very clever flow to deliver the truths and rights to a new and upcoming generation. Now linked with Ras Wadadah II he has been given an outlet at D.O.V.E. Muzik to express himself. He always says, "there are a lot of examples in the music that are good examples of slackness, why not be the opposite to show the youths another way."


Some people can’t handle the truth but not one to keep the goodness to myself I, comedian, and professional gem dropper Amanda Seales, am sharing what I’ve learned (and am learning) in my podcast, Small Doses.  Every episode I break down the side effects of a theme that all of us can relate to from Insecurity, to Haters, to the Hoe Phase and more. With stories to tell, Q&A, guests, and my trademark self help from the hip, I’ll have you, yo’ momma, and your cousin too, laughing and living your best life!
