In recent years, Fonteiro has appeared in several films, including "Every Time I Die" and "The Browsing Effect", both released by Gravitas Ventures.
As a first-generation American, Fonteiro has a unique cultural background, having spent his childhood in his parents' native country, Cabo Verde, an archipelago of 10 Atlantic islands located 400 nautical miles off the coast of West Africa.
The dominant cultural mix in Cabo Verde is a blend of Portuguese and African influences, which has shaped Fonteiro's identity. He is fluent in three languages outside of English, namely Crioulo, Portuguese, and Spanish.
In addition to his linguistic skills, Fonteiro is a skilled equestrian and a talented dancer, with expertise in various styles including Jazz, Kizomba, Latin, 'Step', and Hip-Hop.
In 2023, Fonteiro launched Andy's Workshop, a creative entertainment company, which has as its flagship project The Legend of Dez'ilha Saga, a series of two interconnecting young-adult fantasy novels.
The first two books in the series, "Benthu of Ti'ago" and "Winds of Pasadu", are now available for purchase in paperback and e-book format.
