"The Duke Ellington School of the Arts graduate moves fearlessly up and down octaves, all the while maintaining a distinct sense of purpose. She can explore the upper register in a beguiling waft, or plunge into the basement with buoyant, swelling articulation." -Giovanni Russonello of CapitalBop
As a native of the cosmopolitan city of Washington DC with a passion for travel and music from around the world, cultural immersion and diversity have always been a driving inspiration for vocalist Andrea Wood's unique musical style. With her hauntingly rich vocals and intuitive feel for the music, Andrea brings a distinctively eclectic approach to Jazz, incorporating American Swing, Bebop and Soul music, along with the styles of the Caribbean, France and Brazil.
