He first caught the spotlight for his standout performance as Andre Harris on Nickelodeon’s Victorious, a role that really put him on the map. He also made a memorable appearance in the popular iCarly crossover episode titled “iParty with Victorious,” further boosting his recognition. Before all the fame and television success, he was already making waves in the entertainment world at a young age. Back in 2003, when he was just 10 years old, he played Young Simba in the Broadway production of The Lion King, showcasing his talent early on. Growing up, he was raised in Brooklyn by Jayon Anthony and shares a close bond with his younger sister, Jayla. Throughout it all, he’s remained grounded, letting his work speak for itself while steadily building his legacy as Andre Harris.
Back in 2007, he really started making a name for himself with his first major film role in August Rush, and that was a big moment—especially since he got to showcase his talent by singing “La Bamba” in the movie. People still talk about that performance. Oh, and before that, he also lent his voice to a character named Tyrone in The Backyardigans, where he did quite a bit of singing too. Yeah, he’s been involved in music and acting for a while now, and it’s clear he’s got real range. He definitely made an impression early on, and fans have been following his journey ever since.
