ANDREA SOLER (Vocals and guitar) Andrea Soler is a fresh and inspiring singer-songwriter from Australia. Her unique indie folk style blends a variety of influences including soul, rap and flamenco. Overlaid with her effortlessly seductive vocals, this creates an irresistible sound. On stage she is a spontaneous and passionate performer, and captivates her audience with her open hearted and intimate delivery of every song. Andrea draws upon her deep love of life and her travel experiences to create beautiful music. "I am always inspired by nature," she says "and I often find myself writing songs whilst walking along the beach or in the forest." The dreamy title song 'Better in the Sunshine’ was ironically written in Scotland last summer, due to the typical Scottish weather! Since basing herself in the UK, this Aussie songstress has gained a steady following of British fans that enthusiastically love her uplifting and soulful tunes, her humour, insight and her sunny personality. Her passionate and honest performances are intimately shared through her natural charm and openhearted spontaneity.
In 2005 Andrea worked alongside accomplished producer and musician, Richard Bell, creating her 9 track demo, and forming her first band ‘The Common Thread’, which played support act to popular Australian musicians such as Xavier Rudd, Claire Bowditch, and Dubshack.
Before heading to the UK, Andrea spent a year living in Paris, where she performed regularly at a variety of bars and café’s in the cobble-stoned streets of Montmartre and throughout the city. She also featured on radio, and headlined the ‘Festival Des Talents’ last May.
Since emerging on the scene in the UK her cruisy vibe melodies have delighted audiences across the country playing at several venues and festivals including the Wickerman, Loch Lomond, and the Eartheart stage at The Big Green Gathering.
Andrea is currently recording her debut EP ‘Better in the Sunshine’ and will be touring throughout the UK and France in 2008. Although she intends to tour in Australia late 2008/09, she is planning to return to play in the UK in June 2009.
“There’s no one thing that makes Andrea a wonderful performer. It’s a combination of her life energy, her openness with her audience, her beautiful songs and utterly incredible voice. I feel blessed each and every time I have the opportunity to see Andrea play as she lifts my spirit, and helps me feel a little more peaceful in the world.†Nadia Sundae (ABC Radio, Gold Coast, Australia)
"Whether performing in an intimate setting or on a bigger stage, Andrea's naturally infectious vibe connects effortlessly..." Conrad Barr (Solid Air Promotions,UK)
