Andre Comeau

Andre Comeau (born September 10, 1971) is a singer and songwriter who gained notoriety as one of the original cast members of television reality show The Real World. He graduated from Clarence M. Kimball High School in Royal Oak, Michigan. His early musical influences were the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan. His band, Reigndance, moved to the New York area in early 1990. During auditions for the Mtv show, Andre and his bandmates were excited as they felt that it would be a great way to showcase their band. After viewing the first few episodes, they discovered that it wasn't what they had in mind. After the season, the band felt overexposed and changed their name to Makeshift Gleam. They released their 3rd and final album after securing a publishing deal. Andre moved to Los Angeles and in 1999, formed a new band, MiLkWeeD. The band released one album "MiLkWeeD... For Breakfast", and broke up shortly thereafter. During the 10 year Real World reunion special, a protest of castmembers broke out. Andre participated in the protest on the basis that royalty checks for songs written by Reigndance wasn't properly credited and that he wasn't receiving royalty checks. During the original season, they would play music from Reigndance, but they would credit the songs' writers as being "unknown". After a lengthy discussion, Reigndance began receiving royalty checks for their music being played on The Real World. Andre went solo in 2004. Going back to his musical influences, he now sings folk/bluegrass music with the Andre Comeau Band.
