Andre Simon Anderson grew up in Minneapolis Minnesota with Prince. They met in the 7th grade at Bryant Junior High School. In his early teens Prince lived with the Anderson family after he was kicked out by his father.
At first, Prince shared Andre’s room, then moved to the basement. This is the last place Prince would move to before he became an adult — and a star.
If you had to pick a birthplace for the Minneapolis Sound, you might very well point to the basement of this house, where Prince and André jammed and formed their first band together. Next door at their bandmate Terry Jackson’s house (1248 Russell), Morris Day successfully auditioned to be their new drummer, and rehearsals would bounce back and forth between the two homes.
André Cymone is an American bass player, songwriter and record producer. Born Andre Simon Anderson, Cymone was a bass player in Prince's touring band, from 1979 to 1981. Cymone's stage name comes from a variation of his middle name, Simon; he added an accent on the "e" of his first name and turned it into "André", the French spelling of "Andre".
Thanks for spreading positivity!
