"A brilliant young singer" - Al Jarreau
Andrea Miller's voice has been described as soulful, sensual, hypnotic, and endearing. A Top 5 Finalist in the International Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal Competition in both 2021 and 2020, Andrea is currently heating up the international jazz scene, concert stages and radio stations.
Miller opened for the legendary Al Jarreau at many concerts before he passed including the Newport Beach Jazz Festival in California. She received a standing ovation and gracious compliments from Jarreau and his band and was set to tour with and open for him in Europe, just prior to his passing.
In 2022 and 2023, Miller was selected by world renowned Princess Cruise Lines to be the first "Jazz Artist in Residency" onboard the Sky Princess in England. In 2023 she headlined The Blue Note Hawaii, opened for Michael Franks at the Newport Beach Summer Concert Series, was featured on French news for her concert in Lyon, and headlined Festival de Jazz de Polanco in Mexico City. She also headlined the Punta Mita Jazz Festival, Texas Jazz Festival, San Jose Jazz Weekend in Cabo San Lucas, Bemol 5 Jazz club in Lyon, France, Jazz at LACMA in Los Angeles, Utah Arts Festival, Salt Lake City Jazz Festival, and Newport Beach Summer Jazz Series with the Tom Kubis Big Band.
A member of SAG/AFTRA and ASCAP, Miller's performances have gained critical acclaim at The Blue Note Hawaii, The Paris Hotel, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Pasadena Jazz Institute, Baked Potato, Spaghettini, Catalina Jazz Club, Vibrato and Jazz on the Rocks Cabo San Lucas.
Andrea had the honor to work with David Foster, Quincy Jones and Alan & Marilyn Bergman when recording a vocal demo for Celine Dion "I Knew I Loved You". Originally trained in opera at a young age, Andrea won first place in the Oregon State Vocal Competition first soprano category when only 14 years old. She then went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts from USC.
In addition to performing, Andrea works as a session singer. Her voice can be heard on recordings by Disney/Pixar, Paramount Pictures, NBC, ABC, Samsung, Warner Brothers, EMI, Mattel Toys, and others. In 2021 Andrea released her fifth album "Time to Stay" with the San Gabriel 7. Her other online albums are "Maybe Today", "II By II", "Andrea Miller Featuring the Salt Lake City Jazz Orchestra", "Soulful Dream", "Imagine - EP", "Fly Like an Eagle - EP" and "Andrea - EP".
"As my countdown to stage got smaller and smaller, I started to hear some marvelous music coming from the stage, floating through my dressing room window. Our opening act was a brilliant young singer named Andrea Miller. The whole band was impressed with her song selection, with her bandmates, arrangements, and her jazz sensibilities. I enjoyed listening to the little bit I got to, and the band enjoyed their even closer look." (Al Jarreau)
"As I told Andrea after she sang The Masquerade is Over, she owns that tune. In all my years in this business playing with the best jazz singers Carmen McRae, Anita O'Day, Peggy Lee etc., I never heard anyone sing it as good." (Pat Senatore)
"Andrea will get to your heart even if she sings in the middle of a boat in the sea. What she does has nothing to do with being in L.A., London, Paris or whatever. It has to do with artistic commitment and love for every note she sings, and that's how great artists act, don't you think?" (IAC.com)
"She's very charming, personable, and attractive and sings with a lot of emotion. Her delivery is soft and sensual, almost hypnotic. She sings with confidence". (L.A. Jazz Scene)
"Everybody's heard the old standard, 'Cry Me A River,' every long, drawn-out sob story milked within an inch of its life. Miller as the vocalist gives each line just the right amount of pathos, verve, and snap. She isn't the kind of singer to wallow in the pitiful aspects, but to turn up the rebound several notches for a refreshing take." (AXS)
"One listen to Andrea Miller's 21st century update of "Angel Eyes," will endear you to this song all over again." (AXS)
