Andru Voss

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio on August 18, 1989, Voss was raised by his mother until the age of 10. At the early age of 4, Voss's mom got him into modeling, landing his first gig with Schottensteins catalog, a local retail department store, where he modeled for their print ads. Growing up Voss played soccer for 5 years as well as running track his eighth grade year. In middle school he began to write, whether it be short stories, poems or songs. After moving in with his grandmother at the age of 11, he continued modeling and was scouted off of MySpace by Xtreme Talent Agency, where he continued his modeling career. That quickly came to an end when Voss found a fascination with Journalism during high school, becoming lead writer for the entertainment section, which led to his first city wide poetry publication in the Columbus Dispatch. Idolizing Chris Brown from the moment he saw his first music video, giving him the drive, he then knew that the media business was made for him and would seek out to become a film and music video producer. 13 days after graduating high school, Voss moved to Cincinnati where he attended the Art Institute of Ohio majoring Video Production. He then moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 2011. He quickly grew to love the city and the city quickly grew to love him. In 2012 tragedy struck when Voss landed in the hospital and was unconscious for 3 months. His heart and lungs collapsed at the same time and at one point began to lose brain activity. Then, one morning, Voss was up and walking around the hospital room as if nothing every happened. Fast forward 3 years and by this time, he's achieved two college degrees and has already shot and edited over a hundred short films, music videos and promotional videos. Not to many people can say they've met their idol, but after only 1 week of graduating high school he met Chris Brown which only pushed his drive and ambition for the entertainment industry. Voss is someone who makes the best of what he does, no matter where he's at, what he's got or who he's with, his passion will keep him thriving for as long as he's breathing.
