I remember reading the poetry...I think one was called "The Sculptor and Scientist" or something...really interesting...seemed to imply that he lost interest/moved on to 3rdeyegirl and then came back around and wanted to initiate something. She also posted one where she discussed a proposal and mentioned green/hazel eyes....assumed it was about him. I was at the Hotel Cafe in 2013, when P walked in from the side...she looked surprised and really taken aback. I think he was trying to get back with her and I think she was coming back around bc of the AOA songs, giving her props, showing up at her shows etc. Also, it's interesting that a lot of the later women had fros...I don't think it's just happenstance.

Yes I remember The Sculptor and Scientist. She wrote another called Give and take I believe...thanks for posting the link to the tumblr-I'll check that out.I'd forgotten the one about the proposal and hazel eyes. Did Andy see P come in the door? Funkenberry made it seem like she didn't see him until after her show. I think Prince was trying to get back with her then too and it seemed to work since Andy was at his L.A. show and sitting with him in VIP at Liv's show in March 2014. It is interesting how many of the recent women had fro's and they resembled Andy too.

Like how Andy seemed to resemble Esperanza Spalding from a few years back....

True When Andy first played with him at the Troubador in 2011 some people thought she was Esperanza at first.

I can definitely see how people would think that...!

It's really interesting to learn that Prince was trying to get back in, especially when he has a history of moving on and never looking back. I also agree about the Andy-esque women in his last years...but none of them were Ms. Andy. BTW: Thanks for the tumbler link.

She is beautiful.

I noticed that, luvgirl. In fact, it's the only photo I've seen of them holding hands.

Sorry, but i think their hands are superimposed on the picture....could be wrong though

Yep there was a definite resemblance back then. Some people also thought he couldn't have Esperanza so he went with Andy.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions that these photos were taken by Prince at his island estate in T & C, likely on his private island.

[Edited 11/23/16 8:23am]

Yes.Prince took quite a few photos of her in 2011 and 12 there as well. A few of them are still on her Facebook. There's a gorgeous one he took of her sitting on the balcony of his home. Also a few of her walking along the shore from Nov 2011.

This must be the one. Breathtaking, both Andy and the balcony/patio. It's a shame that his T & C estate has to be sold.

Nice! If you pause the video right after she points it looks like you see Prince smiling real big talking with her in the corner.

Hmm I'm not sure where that ones from.The one I was thinking of she was wearing sunglasses and perched on the balcony.You can see the ocean and trees behind her.It's in her Andy Prints 2012 album on Facebook. Andy posted that pic was taken in Brazil 2014

Right?! He looks quite happy (and handsome!!). Rolling with Prince must have been beyond most of our wildest dreams.

I know. They seemed to get along so well too. She said when they met they clicked instantly and it was like they had always known each other.

Interview: Andy Allo, On Her New EP, Cameroon, And Prince

Posted on April 25, 2015 by Cameroon Traveler in English, Interview,

https://cameroontraveler....nd-prince/

IN: Can I get a behind the scenes of what it was like in Cameroon for the first 13 years of your life?

AA: The biggest thing growing up is community. Family is of the utmost importance. You’re really taught to appreciate culture and respect your elders! And really take care of your family first and foremost. My family is very musical. My mom plays piano and my dad writes poetry and sings. So I was surrounded by music and art since I was a baby.

IN: You moved to Sacramento when you were 13, how was that transition?

AA: Culturally it was interesting because of even little things, like how the date is written, or how certain words were pronounced. I had my African accent. I learned the American accent when I moved here because I wanted to fit in. I wanted to be like everybody else and feel like I belonged.

IN: What was the racial dynamic of your Sacramento neighborhood?

AA: It was pretty diverse, it was Latino, African-American, and white.

IN: What culture did you want to be a part of?

AA: It’s interesting being mixed, I didn’t really know where I belong. I wasn’t black enough to be African-American and I wasn’t white enough.

IN: When was that?

AA: That was like, 2000, 2001.

IN: That was a tough time. You had to wear expensive brand names back then. The white kids were supposed to dress in Abercrombie & Fitch and the black kids were supposed to wear FUBU, Enyce…

AA: And Apple Bottoms! [laughs]

IN: Did your childhood travels teach you the skills of being able to move between different worlds?

AA: It was a great skill to be able to move like water and to be able to flow into different things. I was able to flow into different areas of the industry. Secondly, since I was a kid I’ve loved entertaining. It was natural. Being on stage, being in front of people is like a second home. A family friend recently told me when I was 7 I said that I was going to be a rock star and perform in front of thousands of people. I always knew this is what I wanted to do. I loved singing, I love acting, I love dancing. Any medium that allows me to connect with people, it comes naturally to me and I love it.

IN: What did you learn from working with Prince that you could not learn anywhere else?

AA: He’s so incredibly talented and creative. Being around someone that is so knowledgeable and being under his mentorship, I learned about artistic integrity and staying true to myself and taking the time to know “What do I want to sound like? What do I want to be?” I learned it’s okay to experiment and try things. And that’s what I feel I’ve done with Hello. It was bootcamp. [laughs] It was a challenge. It honed me as an artist to take my craft seriously.

IN: So you go from this huge big band sound to singing pop and rock about staying at home and watching TV shows. What caused that transition?

AA: Because that’s what I do! [laughs] To me, that’s what my life is like. All the songs I write are very personal. The songs that are on the EP are my experiences. I feel like I re-connected with my inner child. I feel like a kid. I’m very kid-like, doing pranks and doing jokes. It’s always been apart of my personality — and now I want to share that with people.

Good interview.Thanks!

Are they friends? I've seen group photos of them (Andy and Damaris) in Chicago, along with Janelle and Ledisi.

They were at the time. I remember in 2014 she also tweeted that she was listening to The Calm from Superconductor. Andy was also really close to Hannah Welton and I saw Hannah posted "Love You Andy"in the comments on her first Facebook Live chat in May.They seem to still be close.I also saw that Shelby J reached out to her on Instagram when she was in L.A. for a few days and told her to call her so she could "hug her up". Andy also seems to be friends with Misty Copeland or aquaintances at least.

Thanks. It would be nice if they are still friends. I remember that Damaris was very displeased with JH when she spoke to the NY Times about that night P's plane made the emergency landing. I remember reading about her angry tweets.

Yes I saw those too. Prince's ex manager and friend Kiran wasn't too pleased about it either. It would be nice if Andy and Damaris were still friends. Meant to say I saw Damaris's tweets about the JH article.
