Andrew Lorente (DJ ALo) is a music producer, songwriter, and DJ from Long Island, New York. Andrew started making music at the age of 12 when he downloaded a beat-making app called “DPM” which introduced him into the realm of music. He started teaching himself how to produce electronic music on Abelton at 13 years old during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, which enabled him to release his first single, Everytime, in October of that year. In his freshman year of high school, Andrew spent most of his afternoons silently perfecting his craft, waiting for a chance to show it off. He got this chance at “The Mercy Benefit Concert”. A fundraiser concert ran by the Xanadu Literary Magazine and the Collective Recording Studio Club at his high school. He DJ’ed an upbeat EDM mix that had the whole crowd consisting of both students and teachers dancing in a mosh pit.
From there on, DJ ALo was born.
