Andre Power

If one could mod­estly describe a man like Andre Power , the Cofounder of Future Sound Record Label, Soulec­tion, in one word it would be ver­sa­tile. Hav­ing been born and raised in Philadel­phia, PA, Power even­tu­ally moved to South­ern Cal­i­for­nia where he has resided for the past five years. He first came here as a visual artist, actively con­duct­ing his own art shows through­out his apartment.

Over the course of time he has devel­oped and sharp­ened many of his skills such as being a DJ, Painter, Graphic Designer, Pho­tog­ra­pher, Direc­tor, Event Promoter/Curator and is heav­ily involved in south­ern Cal­i­for­nia Arts and Cul­ture. Mr. Power is also the Styl­ist & Co Founder of Vin­tage Renewal brand Punc­tilio Project.
