Andre King was born in Chicago to a multi ethnic family in 1964.
Growing up he decided at an early age to work in some aspect of the
motion picture business. His professional career began in acting while

Chicago. He is in development on two features including "The
Fragrance of Her Hair", a drama tentatively slated for production in
the near future where he serves as writer and executive producer. He has also been
