In fact , One Sug' is only one person, André, born in July 1964 in La Rochelle (Charente-Maritime France). He's a self-taught guitarist.

In 1981, he purchased his first electric guitar. André practiced playing Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Saxon, Judas Priest and Aerosmith. One year later, he joined the "mythical" hard-rock group of La Rochelle OVERDOSE, pioneer of local metal scene. It was there he composed his firt guitar riffs, until 1985 .
