For the last several years, Andrea has worked with some of gospel music’s most notable figures, Yolanda Adams, Richard Smallwood and Donnie McClurkin. Hailing from Morristown, New Jersey, Andrea grew up attending church and in a home that was full of music. It wasn’t until she went to college that she realized how much she loved to sing and loved gospel music. While attending the University of Maryland, Andrea was an active member of the university’s gospel choir. Being in the choir was instrumental in drawing her closer to God. It was during this period of her life that she accepted the Lord as her personal Savior and committed to singing for Him. After college, Andrea sang with Washington, DC's own Maurette Brown Clark and Steve Lawrence & Friends. Her time with them as well as participating in her church’s music ministry served as a catalyst for growth in her life, both musically and spiritually. Since that time, Andrea has been a part of several community choirs, ensembles and has served as a praise and worship leader. For the last seven years, Andrea has been a background singer with two of gospel music’s most notable figures, Yolanda Adams and Richard Smallwood. As a background singer and member of Vision, she’s had the opportunity to minister on stages all over the world. She has traveled to over 15 countries and has participated in some of Gospel’s most successful tours – Hopeville, Sisters in the Spirit, and the Yolanda Today tour. In addition, she has appeared on national television programs, participated in the Grammy Salute to Gospel Music event and has sung at the US Capitol and the White House. When she is not traveling, she can be found singing at her church, Greater Mt. Calvary Holy Church in Washington, DC. |
