Welcoming in singer Andrea Jenkyns

Expanding our genres and categories for 2009, Orchestrand is now working with excellent solo singer Andrea Jenkyns.

To welcome in the turn of 2009, Orchestrand has been busy expanding the roster or artists and musicians we market for events and over the coming weeks we will be publishing details of each new band and artist added to our books.

We start by welcoming talented solo singer and songwriter Andrea Jenkyns to our books.

Andrea Jenkyns has been writing songs since she was sixteen. Born in Beverley, East Yorkshire, she first became interested in singing as a child. Andrea's musical career has certainly been colourful. She has met with the Prime Minister of Pakistan and performed in Islamabad to an 8,000 strong arena. Her music video for her song "The Beach" has been played in Asia and became the most requested song on one of their television shows.

Nearer to home, Andrea has performed twice at the Asian Mela festival in Leeds. The event was attended by 80,000 people. Andrea's debut album entitled Ilyis reached the stores of HMV and also iTunes and has received a positive response. She has had various tracks from her album played several times on BBC radio. The album is an eclectic mix of genres - all original tracks - mixing rock, pop, ballads and with a touch of Eastern flavour. Throughout the album the evidence of Andrea's ability to write quality lyrics is evident especially in songs such as One Voice and Perfect Match. Her debut album showed Andrea's versatility as a singer and songwriter.

Andrea is currently finishing her second album, where she returns to her true passion by mixing songs from musical theatre, classical with her own heartfelt ballads. She begins a UK tour in 2009 with her own musicians including a violinist and pianist.
