This man of many talents was also a dancer; he entered competitions and won as best dancer. Andile still dances even now while performing during his concerts and when signing his songs. Realizing his many talents, he chose music as his first love, gospel music to be precise.In 1996, Andile entered a National Talent search which was called Shell Road to fame but did not go far in it. But in 1997, he re-entered the same competition and went as far as National Finales representing the whole Eastern Cape in Gauteng. In 1998, Andile B left Port Elizabeth for greener pastures to Johannesburg where he met Sipho Mbhele who was one of the best producers that time who had produced Lundi at the time. Sipho approached Andile and they worked together and recorded an Afro-Pop album which was not well promoted and that led to Andile cancelling the contract. 2002 was the year that Andile B started to blossom, he met Andy Masiye who was a street promoting Artist. Andy asked Andile to join him in his stable and they recorded a hit song “Akuvumi Mangithule.” With that album, they sold 25 000 copies on the streets of South Africa.

While singing around the country, Andile was called by different musicians to do some backing for their projects.

Andile was also a backing vocalist for thee Bra Hugh Masekela, Judith Sephuma and Gloria Bossman. Because Andile is such a great songwriter and best vocal arrangement specialist, he was approached by Spirit Music to join them and he worked with great legends like Benjamin Dube, Keke Phoofolo, Solly Mahlangu, Zaza Mokhethi, Khotso Makgalema just to name a few. Andile was with Spirit for Vol 1, Vol2, and Vol3 and during his time there he released the songs “Xola Ntliziyo” and “Ke Tsamaya le Jeso”.
