Andy Mineo            

Christian Hip-Hop Artist, Producer & Video Director

Andy Mineo is a Christian hip-hop artist, producer, music executive, and video director based in New York City. In addition to his solo work, he is a member of the hip-hop collective 116 Clique.

Originally from Syracuse, New York, Mineo worked as a producer in high school and joined the hip-hop group Fat Camp, which was signed to Syracuse University's Marshall Street Records.

After moving to New York City, he realized his weak spiritual condition, re-dedicated his life to Christ and closed down his production studio in order to restart his career.

He independently released his first mixtape Sin is Wack in 2009 and joined a community outreach program created by Nicky Cruz's called T.R.U.C.E. where he met long-time friends and collaborators Alex Medina, Wordsplayed, Rich Perez and others. Upon meeting, Mineo began collaborating with Alex Medina on a record called "Background" that would later be placed on Lecrae's Rehab album.

In 2011, Mineo released "In My City," a single featuring Efrain from Doubledge, that continued to build momentum and buzz. After rebranding himself as Andy Mineo (instead of C-Lite), Mineo released his first full-length studio album, Heroes for Sale, on April 16, 2013. His sophomore album, Uncomfortable, was released in 2015.

Mineo began building his own creative initiative, Miner League. In 2016, the first project from that initiative, Clowntown, was released by Wordsplayed. In 2017, Miner League and Reach Records partnered to release a collaborative mixtape titled Andy Mineo & Wordsplayed Present Magic & Bird on August 4, 2017.

In August 2019, Mineo's third mixtape, Work in Progress, was released.

His video and television work includes "Saturday Morning Car-Tunez," "League Chumps Season 1," and co-direction on several of his music videos. As a music producer, his work includes the single "Destiny" by Sheena Lee, in which he was a featured performer, and, along with rapper Derek Minor, aided DJ Official in producing "Power Trip" by Lecrae, which featured him, Derek Minor, and Sho Baraka.
