I don’t know what I would do without Herbal Essence’s “None Of Your Frizzness”. I’ve never used a relaxer in my hair and am so happy when I hear about people transitioning because those chemicals are very toxic. I actually began flat ironing my hair fairly recently, and only did so to get an even trim but now, I’m going to try trimming my hair curls without using the iron. An example…I remember, “dying” my hair black blue and from then nursing it back to health for about a year. I use that term, because in a soap opera, a character will die and then be brought back to life, or someone will do something terrible but then get a second chance. How’s the hair journey been? What are your favorite products?Īndy Allo - My hair soap opera began with braids and cornrows actually. But Like a reggae woman, I just boogie on!Īfrobella - Your hair is full and fabulous and free – but I’ve seen photos of you earlier in your career with straight hair. Prince was touted as the next Stevie Wonder when he first started. Is there anything you’d like those fans to know and understand about you?Īndy Allo - It’s always harder for the new girl in class. In fact, I’m addicted to touring and can’t wait to get back on the road.Īfrobella - I take it that might be sooner than we think! Will you be joining Prince when he comes to my side of town for Welcome 2 Chicago?Īndy Allo - Absolutely! I can’t wait to be in the home of blues, deep dish pizza and steppin’! I’ve only been to Chicago once but this time, this time will be very special because… I’ll be debuting music from my new record SUPERCONDUCTOR.Īfrobella - There’s so much chatter about you on the prince message boards, “is Andy the new Wendy” etc etc. It was my first tour, first time playing music I had two weeks to learn, first time playing in front of 60,000 people and I loved every minute of it. When I joined the New Power Generation, it was a challenge in every sense. You know that feeling when you’re around some one who’s wiser and whom you have an immense amount of respect for, you just kind of just sit quiet and listen while inside there’s a little person doing the Harlem shake and singing. It’s in my blood.Īfrobella - Talk to me about working with Prince – how did that come to be, and what is it like? (I’d be so nervous around him, I think)!Īndy Allo - Oh no, not at all. It’s been an interesting journey to say the least but once I discovered that I had been given a gift: The gift of song and songwriting, there was nothing else for me to do but sing and write songs. How did you get here?Īndy Allo - I came from a distant land and journeyed a long 22 hours to the Americas. But HOORAY, it did! The Afrobella Interview: Andy Allo.Īfrobella - Your voice is so lovely and you’re so beautiful, Andy! Talk to me about your musical journey thus far – you’re from Cameroon! And now you live in Los Angeles and you’re working with PRINCE. Which is great because had I known, I would have rambled her ear off about how much I love Prince and my purple MAC lipglass and maybe we wouldn’t have become Twitter friends (follow her and this here interview might never have happened. I met Andy Allo at the Essence Women in Hollywood luncheon and she was drop dead gorgeous and I could see the “it factor” just radiating out of her – but I didn’t know who she was just yet – she was just down to earth and normal and friendly and we chatted and hit it off. I’m so glad I didn’t know all of this when I met Andy.
