ANDY
LYRICUS
Puerto Rico-born Andy grew up listening to reggaeton, salsa, and bachata before relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As the class clown, he NEEDED to learn English, so, at age 8, he did. At 11 he wrote his first full song being influenced by Will Smith, Daddy yankee, Don Omar, and Michael Jackson. Andy has been an apprentice with Automatic since 2019 and his focuses are producing, mixing, and audio engineering.

In his teen years he was involved in the local punk/ska scene and played trumpet in a ska band named Sektor 8. Soon thereafter, he discovered electronic music and his musical landscape was changed forever.
Cody now draws influence from dubstep, trance, house, chillout and ambient music. His primary instrument is piano, as well as a Maschine studio.
M3DI
Though music runs in M3DI's family, it wasn't until his time in the Navy that he connected with his musical gift in a purposeful way. With his guitar as his companion, he sang songs with his fellow sailors, giving them the comfort and escape they needed as they endured the challenges of military life. It was those moments of inspiration that sparked M3DI's desire to pursue music as a career. An accomplished pianist and vocalist, M3DI is beginning his journey with the inRage family as both artist-in-development and production apprentice.
