About Me

Born in New Hampshire, grew up in Southern California and has been living in New York since '88, Andrea brings a number of talents to the music scene table. She is a performer and has been singing for many years. From '95 to '02 she sang Italian standards such as: O Sole Mio, Mama, Al Di La, Italia, Mala Femina, Romana Guitar, Luna Canadese, etc. in a cute little Italian restaurant in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn called Mambo Italiano -- she was their "Italian" singer! She also worked with an R&B producer for several years and co-wrote and recorded over 80 R&B songs. In addition, she did session work for Reggae artist Rockie Dan (www.Myspace.com/Rockiedan). Andrea has sung back-up for a David Bowie tribute band, various dance cover bands, as well as, led her own band called THE WATTS RIOT! and co-led the original rock band MOROCCAN SHEEPHERDERS (www.Sheepherders.com) and has performed at such venues as: The China Club, CBGB's, The Bitter End, The Red Lion, The Lizard Lounge, Prohibition, Ace of Clubs, etc. Very recently Andrea put together a jazz band for herself with some of NYC's hottest musicians (Donna Kelly on drums, Buddy Booker on Bass and Charles Carrington ..board) and is currently performing at The Carnegie Club. With regard to recording credits, Andrea also had the distinct pleasure and honor of recording vocal tracks with Grammy and MTV award winner MOBY! Currently, Andrea sings with MIGHTY WOODROWE's guitar trio known as SPONGEWORTHY featuring Gus Fafalios, Benny Landa and Cary Scope. In addition, Andrea also sings back-up for one of Gus Fafalios' classic rock cover bands known as CHUM. And, in addition to being a member of one of Mr. Fafalios' bands, she manages his music career as well and is quite proud to be working with such extraordinary talent. Thanks and all the best!
