Andrea C Parker
Singer, songwriter, wife and mom
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Andrea is an accomplished singer and songwriter. She has been singing since the age of 3 and writing songs for over 10 years. Her first experience with songwriting was in NYC for a large church choir. There she had the opportunity to write for two recording projects that were heard around the world. New York City is where she met her husband (a jazz musician) and together they write songs and musicals for their local congregation. Andrea is currently working on her first recording project. She is also the proud mother of two terrific kids. Andrea's passion is music and her heart is to support Christian music any way she can.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I sing around town and other churches, when God opens those doors.
Your musical influences
Keith Green
Bill and Gloria Gaither
Nichole Nordeman
Mark Hall (Casting Crowns)
Michael W. Smith
Dolly Parton
Kelly Clarkson
I love country music for the ability that they have to tell a complete story in 3 and 1/2 mins.
What equipment do you use?
Always my voice, sometimes pen and paper, though I like to write songs on the computer. I use a tape recorder to record a tune in my head.
Anything else?
I just want to sing and write songs that penetrate the heart and challenge us to grow deeper with God.
