Andrea’s work was recognized at the 2008 Gemini Awards, where she won as part of the sound team on Durham County.

Driving the music creative via song selection and licensing, negotiating rights and fees for everything from top 10 hits to indie basement recordings, it’s clear where her heart lies; “I live and breathe indie music. I love going to shows, festivals, devouring blogs, digging under rocks for new music of all genres. I love placing indie music to picture because of the golden opportunity it brings to introduce a great unknown band to the world.”
