/ PRODUCER
Pianist, lyrical scribe and songstress, Andreena, is a musical powerhouse.
She began her career at the young age of three after her father, also a
musician, realized her musical potential. By 2001 she entered the world of
female R&B groups as a member of the Canadian trio, X-Quisite, alongside MTV
Canada host, Nicole Holness and Universal Motown’s Melanie Fiona. The group
earned nominations for the Canadian Urban Music Awards and Juno Awards in
2003. Later Andreena established a solo career, and after releasing her first
mix-tape, Ready to Fly in 2009, she signed on as a writer for Universal Music
Publishing
in
2010.
Today, Andreena records, composes and produces, independently, collaborating
with industry veterans such as DMX (Album: Undisputed "Cold World" & "No
Love");
among
others,
she
has
worked
with
Drake
(The
Comeback
Season,
“Closer”), The Bizness (Chris Brown, “No Bullshit”), Bryan-Michael Cox (Mary
J. Blige, “Be Without You”), James Fauntleroy (Jordin Sparks, “No Air”),
Kevin McCall (Keri Hilson, “One Night Stand”, Chris Brown “Deuces”) and
Needlz (Bruno Mars, “Just The Way You Are”). Her most recent EP,All Eyes on
Me, was released in September 2012.
Andreena's debut album "Naked" was
released in summer of 2013, the 22 track (4 skits, 3 interludes) body of work
was primarily composed and written by the songstress and also includes
production by Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Floetry) Hit-Boy (Jay-Z, Kanye
West, Beyoncé) as well as Toronto producers Bass Line, Snaz, Rich Kidd and
Spinz. Naked marks the re-birth of Andreena, formerly known as “Andreena
Mill”, as the musical maven bares all, for more than just the cover of the
album. Now, with a new team, new brand and new music, the future looks
promising
for
Andreena.
