Born
into a family of opera singers and concert musicians,
Andrea was called to sing at an early age. Her formal
training began when she was 5 years old, culminating in
her years at The Chicago Conservatory of Music. She showed
a special interest in Oratorio and Sacred Music, performing
as a soloist with the Conservatory’s choirs and
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Chamber Music Group.
Andrea has studied Indigenous Music and Healing with several
Elders, including Gary Four Star of the Assinaboine Nation.
She has studied 15 years and currently studies with Genni
Pearlsong McCoury, Moon Maiden of the Cherokee Nation
and Director of Heart Intelligence, a non-profit organization
dedicated to teaching Indigenous Healing. Andrea was adopted
by Ms. McCoury several years ago, and is a family member
in good standing.
In 1999, Andrea was electrocuted and underwent a near
death experience. Her Grandmothers took her through a
traditional shamanic death and rebirth ceremony, where
she learned to cross the threshold between life and death.
This ritual brought her to living "on the right side
of her brain," where she experiences the peace beyond
understanding and the expansiveness of being One with
All That is. She shares this perspective in all of her
work

Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
