Andrea is a singer, composer and actor who found her way to her own voice by first travelling through an extended repertoire of jazz. Her songs now lie at the intersection of folk, jazz and pop music, and are influenced by everything she has ever been musically moved by. At the core is her voice, one moment delicate to the point of fragility, and the next powerful enough to fill the concert hall un-amplified.
In addition to her most recent full album I’ll Be Seeing You with Newfoundland pianist/composer Bill Brennan she has released 6 original solo albums, toured across North America and performed in every imaginable venue including many of Canada’s most prominent concert halls, and jazz and folk festivals. She continues a decade long relationship with the orchestral pops touring ensemble Jeans ‘n Classics which sees her performing with symphony orchestras across the continent. In recent years, she founded the ensemble Bartholomaus Collective with Canadian bass legend Ian de Souza, and now maintains a rewarding relationship with a group of Toronto DJs and beat based improvisors.
