ANDREW TYREE

“GOING IN”

Andrew Tyree Clinkscale was born in Nuremberg, Germany, and has not stopped moving since.

Throughout all the changes that come with moving constantly so did a heightened need to accelerate the learning process. Nowhere was this truth more evident than in the arena of art. While dabbling the various art form was the norm, it wasn’t until a theater instructor in New York City introducing him to poetry did he find his home. That day was November 3rd 2003, and since then Andrew has gone on to do some wonderful things with art and more specifically the pen. Among those things are:

Appearing in 2 Off- Broadway plays, one of which he wrote and directed

2004 Slam Bush Champion

2005 Nuyorican Grand Slam Championship

12th place in the 2005 National Grand Slam Championship

Featured in the 2007 Pan African Film Festival award winning documentary “Spit”

2007 NACA Finalist

2008 6th place at the Individual World Poetry Slam

Andrew’s journey is long from over, his pen is long from dry.
