About Me

Hey! Thanks for checking out my music.While growing up Andra was constantly immersed in virtually every kind of musical genre there was; and she loved them all. Now, with her low alto range and powerful voice Andra has a passion for singing anything she can give a part of her soul to.Andra was a born performer. She was a shy girl, but came alive when she stepped onto the stage in her community's musical theatre productions. They changed her perception of how to sing. Her performances in musical theatre taught Andra how to pour emotion and character into every song. She began studying acting and taking classical vocal lessons, setting up the vocal foundation that she needed for what she wanted to achieve. Her training intensified when she was accepted as a music major into an arts high school. Since she could only have one major, Andra found time for her love of acting after school when she would go to her improv class at Second city and theatre class, completing her homework on rehearsal breaks.It was in her last years of high school that she discovered her love for jazz. Not in her music class however, but in her business class. Her business teacher, an avid jazz listener, would play Ella Fitzgerald through the intercom as his students worked. One day Andra came home from school and was unable to get “Bewitched” out of her head. A new love for jazz was born. She decided to try singing jazz at the next talent show. The jazz instructor at school saw her potential and gave her the opportunity to sing as a soloist with the school jazz band. She continued her jazz studies in the Humber College Jazz Program.Now, with school behind her Andra is excited about all the music aspirations she wishes to accomplish.
