Andy Mineo is a multi-talented hip hop artist, producer, and director. He's been making music since he was a teenager, and has been signed with Reach Records since 2011.

His latest release is "Never Land II," and you can buy it or stream it anywhere music is sold.

Andy grew up praying for his dad to come back into his life, but it never happened. He's learned over the years that while his dad didn't show up in meaningful ways, God provided men who taught and invested in Andy.

He started producing his own hip hop music while he was still in high school, honing his craft before signing to Reach Records, the label founded by CHH legend Lecrae. Andy's journey to and through Christianity has been full of mountains and valleys while he has wrestled with Christian culture and some of the ways it comes up short.
