Andrea’s career highlights include winning the grand prize in the electronic category in the John Lennon Songwriting contest for her song 'Sky Turns Red,' that she wrote as a result of having a difficult time dealing with her grandmother's death and about when she came to her in a dream ten years after her passing. Andrea received semi-finalist placement for three of her songs in the International Songwriting Competition, 'Now That You're Around,' written about her college boyfriend who was optimistic and nothing like her previous boyfriends, 'Radioactive Love,' written about her lifetime patterns of feeling like she never really belonged, and 'He Still Lives with Us,' was a co-write about a friend who passed away while studying at Berklee College of Music.

Andrea had the opportunity to perform live in her electronic duo Brite Lite Brite among major label artists, M.I.A., Joan Jett, and Ludacris at Virgin Mobile Fest and Mumford & Sons, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and Ellie Goulding at Lollapalooza as a result of her original songwriting. Her song 'I Lost My Heart Tonight' was written about my biggest relationship heartbreak, and it made an impact on the search committee for Lollapalooza who invited my duo to perform an all original set on Perry's Stage after listening to it.

Another one of Andrea’s most personal and emotional songs, ‘Addiction,’ won her a scholarship seat in celebrity and holistic vocal coach Cari Cole's online 'Signature Songwriting Circle,' giving her the opportunity to work with Cari and industry vetted songwriters (who've written with and for John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Bella Poarch), and it premiered at a Berklee College of Music Reach Out initiative event where Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels of Run-DMC spoke about mental health awareness. She wrote this song when her boyfriend was in the throes of addiction and almost died from an overdose.​ Andrea will be releasing these songs over this next year in her brand new Artist Patreon (details below).

Andrea received a Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music (2004) and a Master of Arts in Expressive Therapies (2011) from Lesley University and has led numerous songwriting for healing sessions ever since. Andrea is also the founder of The Next Octave, a song and sound healing online business.
