biographical info
Andrea grew up in the middle-class city of Edmonton in northern Alberta, Canada. Her childhood was idyllic on the outside, full of acting and singing classes and competitive figure skating. However, she parents has predetermined that she would have a successful career in buisness. Not wanting to disappoint, she received her university education in economics while quenching her thirst for performing doing everything from musical theatre to teaching aerobics. Barely out of her teens, Andrea settled into an office job working for her older sister's business. Andrea soon realized that she was really "shitty with numbers, but great with people", so she found the courage to make the leap into the music industry. The result of that faith is a richly melodic, seductive and accessible album so full of grace and honest that it has drawn comparison to artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Portishead, and Shirley Manson of Garbage.
