About

Andrew Strong (born 14 November 1973) is an Irish singer who shot to fame as a teenager playing Deco Cuffe in Alan Parker's 1991 film The Commitments. The son of Irish rock singer Rob Strong, he grew up in a musical household and had no acting experience before landing the lead vocal role. His raw, powerful delivery of soul and R&B classics drove the film's soundtrack to over 12 million copies sold worldwide, earning a Grammy nomination and four BAFTA wins. He has toured internationally ever since, regularly performing the full Commitments soundtrack live.
