Early life


Andrea was born in Skopje on 14 February 2000. At the age of five, she was inspired by the musical scene in Harlem, New York.[3]


Career


While posting short videos of herself singing famous pop and rock songs, producer Aleksandar Masevski noticed her and offered Andrea to collaborate with him.[1][4]


2022: Eurovision Song Contest


In 2022, Andrea was selected to represent North Macedonia after winning the national selection, Za Evrosong 2022. As there was a tie for first place, Andrea was declared the winner as she received maximum points from the international jury.[2] At Eurovision, Andrea performed on 12 May 2022, in the second semi-final.[5] She failed to qualify to the grand final, finishing 11th out of 18 participants.

During the "Turquoise Carpet" event which preceded the Opening Ceremony of the contest on 8 May 2022, Andrea was seen throwing the flag of North Macedonia onto the floor during a photoshoot with the press. The Macedonian broadcaster MRT later published a statement condemning her action, describing it as "desecration of a national symbol, which is punishable by Macedonian law". MRT threatened to withdraw Andrea from the contest. Andrea immediately issued a statement on national television, apologising for her actions and stating that she simply meant to hand the flag to a member of the delegation, who was too far away.[6]


Artistry



Influences


While living in New York, she was exposed to a variety of genres that inspire her music today, such as gospel, R&B, pop, and pop-punk.[7] She has also cited Lauryn Hill and Hayley Williams as being some of her musical inspirations.


Personal life


Andrea's mother is a physician and her father is a law professor.[7] Her grandfather, who died when she was nine, is said to have been the primary source of Andrea's passion in music.[4] When she is not recording music or performing, Andrea is practicing her love of the martial art Muay Thai or taking care of her dog Moe.[7]
