Born & raised in Bellerose, Queens, Andrew is a life-long New Yorker. Growing up in a “mixed-household” (Hindu-Guyanese-Immigrant Mother, 3rd Generation NYer Father) has greatly shaped the nuance of his experience. He is the product of Arts Education in NYC Public Schools. A student of organizations such as Dancing Classrooms and Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation, Andrew eventually went to Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, where he was in the Vocal Studio and the Musical Theater Company. He then went to NYU Tisch where he obtained a BFA in Drama and also studied Business of Entertainment, Media & Technology. Since graduating, Andrew has worked professionally as an actor (billed as André Pardassee) with the Classical Theater of Harlem in The Bacchae and A Harlem Dream as well as Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.
