Hi, I'm Andre —
I teach, I play
& I build things.
An English teacher in Nagoya who plays piano, spins Amapiano, films it all for YouTube, and ships apps on the App Store.
One person, a few too many hobbies.
By day I teach English to wonderful students in Japan. The rest of the time you'll find me at the keyboard, behind a camera, or hunched over Xcode at 1am.
Teacher
ESL lessons for adults in Nagoya. Years in, still learning every day.
Musician & DJ
Piano, lo-fi beats, and Amapiano sets on the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6.
Creator
I film music, teaching tips & slice-of-life Japan for YouTube.
Maker
Three apps on the App Store — language tools and timers, and counting.
Made on a keyboard — and a pair of decks.
Original lo-fi tracks plus Amapiano DJ mixes. I upload new music regularly — follow on SoundCloud so you don't miss one.
Lo-fi keys and original beats, with soulful Amapiano sets on my Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 — log drums, warm pads, and late-night grooves.
Watch me teach, play & tinker.
New videos most weeks — music sessions, English tips, and behind-the-scenes of app building.
Little apps on the App Store.
Built with my students and fellow learners in mind.
Babble Cards
The only flashcard app with multi-sided cards (2–10 sides) — built for complex subjects like kanji and medical terms.
