Influenced by Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughan, Eva Cassidy, Robert Plant, Chris Cornell and Stevie Wonder amongst others, Andrea is currently heating up the Los Angeles music scene.Andrea had the incredible honor to work with David Foster, Quincy Jones and Alan & Marilyn Bergman when recording the vocal demo for CELINE DION "I Knew I Loved You". This vocal demo was requested by Dion, as originally the Ennio Morricone song was an instrumental theme song from the film "Once Upon A Time In America" entitled "Deborah's Theme". Morricone hand picked Dion to sing the remake of "Deborah's Theme", Jones to produce it, who then in turn requested the Bergman's to write the lyrics. Andrea had the pleasure of working with all these greats on the demo at Foster's studio in Malibu. Later in 2007 Dion debuted the song "I Knew I Loved You" live at the Academy Awards. The song is now available on the tribute album to Morricone entitled "We All Love Morricone".An affiliate of SAG and ASCAP, Andrea performs regularly throughout greater Los Angeles with her jazz quartet.

Her delivery is soft and sensual, almost hypnotic. She sings with confidence. (L.A. Jazz Scene)Track 5, 'Maybe', brings you to a setting of coming home to a special loved one. Andrea Miller's vocals on this track are magnificent". (Jointz Magazine)Listening to her music, it is easy to see why she was honored, her honest, touching lyrics are delivered by her strong, soulful voice in such a divine way that you can't help but be drawn in. After seeing her flawless live performance of the old standard "My Funny Valentine", I realized that this is one artist who deserves all the accolades and awards she gets. Andrea has a captivating quality about her that commands your attention and earns your praise. Andrea is definitely an artist worth listening to. (Indie-Connections.com)"The Tao of Groove embraces the styles of funk, blues, jazz, soul, latin, and world beats to bring the listener one step closer to nirvana... Andrea Miller delivers a beautiful range of soothing vocals backed by an impeccable arrangement of strings and synths on "Maybe"... don't sleep on this exotic gem." (UCLA Radio)RIVER ROAD:Who needs to use a musical instrument when you can produce an amazing sound like Andrea does here with pure vocal harmonies. Sharp and sweet, sassy and smooth, all in an explosive little tinder box of a lady, shooting melodic fireworks into the sky and leaving a trail of brightness in her wake. You think after you've heard it that it couldn't have been a cappella but it was, in true finger clicking Gospel style. If you check out the lyrics you'll find them quite cryptic and ambiguous but from the pen of a poet too. "Find another tree to climb" is a really catchy lyric and jumps out from the song - but then again everything is jumping in this one. If attitude is measured by volume then this one breaks the scales.OVER THE RAINBOW:Andrea will get to your heart even if she sings in a middle of a boat in the sea. What she does has nothing to do with being in L.A., London, Paris or whatever. It has to do with artistic commitment and love for every note she sings, and that..s how great artists act, don..t you think? (IAC.com)An All time favorite. This I recall was MY first solo when I was very young taking lessons, but NOTHING like how this angelic voice can belt it out...TRULY AMAZING!! (IAC.com)Lord when I look at the Rainbow you have placed in sky so blue, it reminds me that all your promises are true ... (IAC.com)Never heard this tune performed better (IAC.com)I LOVES YOU PORGY:Say Buddy, do you think that, in this crazy world all mixed up, that a man, ten-thousand miles away from that other city, the one where she lives, where she works day after weary day, carving up the concrete and glass jailhouse of broken dreams, well Mister, do you think a fellah stands a chance of getting through to that woman? And making her fall in love all over again and patch things up maybe, and start all over? Mister, when you play this song for me, I believe. I believe it is possible and that, gall darnit, things will work out just fine. (IAC.com)HOW INSENSITIVE:"Beautiful work again by this outstanding artist. This moves me so much and in a time when things are sad I am reminded of the beauty and positivity of creativity and in what a sweet sadness there is in loss if we truly loved." (IAC.com)
