André was discovered on Australia's Talent Show "New Faces" in 1990 after performing numerous Bobby Brown hits.
In 1992, André's singles "Drive Me Crazy" and "Gimme Little Sign" were released. In 1993, a self-titled album charted well in Australia and the hit singles "Funky Junky," "Let's Get It On," "Do You Wanna Dance" and "To the Top" all hit the Australian Top 50 charts. In 1993, "Gimme a Little Sign" picked up an ARIA Award as the highest selling single of the year.
André is perhaps best known for his second UK hit, "Mysterious Girl" which reached No. 2 in 1996, and hit No. 1 when re-released in 2004 following an appearance on "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" He previously had topped the UK charts with "Flava" and "I Feel You," both in 1996.
His success dried up somewhat when André attempted to make the transformation between teen-pop heartthrob and mature R&B singer with mixed results.
In 1998 he released a UK Top 10 version of "Kiss The Girl" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid" before being dropped from his record label and disappearing from the public eye. This was until his "I'm A Celebrity" appearance in 2004, which led to his third No. 1 and spawned the No. 3 UK hit "Insania." He reportedly wrote the song while filming the reality show, which featured Price. The public witnessed the relationship grow between the two, which turned them into tabloid staples.
André and Price were married and had a son, Junior, in 2005, and a daughter, Princess Tiaamii, in 2007. The couple released an album of duets, "A Whole New World," which reached No. 20 on the British charts in 2006.
News broke on 11 May 2009 that André and Price had separated after three and a half years of marriage. André said on the British TV show "This Morning" that there is little chance the couple will reconcile.

Show me that you're mine girl, alright
If you do want me
Gimme little sugar
If you don't want me
Don't lead me on, girl
But if you need me
And when I'm feeling blue

Gimme some kinda sign girl
I need some sort of affirmation from you.
Show me that you're mine girl, alright
Let me feel like you are really mine.
If you do want me
If you truly desire me
Gimme little sugar
Give me some attention and affection
If you don't want me
If you have no interest in me
Don't lead me on, girl
Don't give me false hope or expectations
But if you need me
If you require my love and companionship
Show me that you love me
Demonstrate your affection and commitment towards me
And when I'm feeling blue
When I am sad or feeling depressed
And I want you
And I yearn for your love and support
There's just one thing
There's only one solution
That you should do
That you need to do
Gimme little sweet talk
Soothe me with words of reassurance and comfort
And when I'm feeling down
When I am feeling discouraged or hopeless
Wearing a frown
With a sad expression on my face
You'll be there when I look around
I know I can depend on you to be there for me.
Gimme some kinda sign girl
Provide me some indication that you are mine.
Oh my baby
Dear and beloved
Oh yeah
Expressing agreement or enthusiasm
Oh my darling
Beloved and dear
If you do want me
If you have a true desire for me

I love this song and I love the music video. Just young folks in the 1990s having fun shooting a silly music video, including the actual camera crew etc in it is inspired. Thank you for cheering up my bad day 🌞🌞🌞
