About Me

Andrea began to sing jazz at 12, infulenced by her bass playing father. While in college, she sang in the downbeat award winning "Singcopation" under the direction of Bruce Rogers, and went on to sing with Doc Severson, the Boston Pops, John Williams, and the L.A. Philharmonic. Andrea has won several awards, including the Friends of Jazz award, and the Harriet Genung, and Plotkins vocal scholarships, and outstanding vocal sololist in the Monterey Jazz festival Next Generation festival. Andrea recieved her bachelors degree in music from California State University Fullerton, and currently doing masters studies at Cal State Long Beach at the Cole Conservatory of Music on full scholarship from the Ella Fitzgerald foundation. In January 2008, she had the honor of performing at the IAJE convention in Toronto, Canada, and in fall 2009 will perform at the Monterey Jazz fetival. Skilled in any style, she is unique, and beautiful inside and out. "You're a sweetheart wrapped in a heart of gold"-Josh Nelson ..
