User:AndromedaTurre

Born in fashion obsessed New York City to musician parents, Andromeda was born to be on the stage. Having the unique opportunity to grow up backstage on international tours, Broadway shows, and concerts of all kinds, Andromeda felt at home in this environment and never wanted to leave.

She began to cultivate her own sense of style and performance at a young age. Studying piano, composition, dance, voice and acting from age five, Andromeda delighted in practicing for hours while most kids were outside to play. Performing locally, doing theater, tv shows and singing jingles, Andromeda was able to pay for her own education at The Boston Conservatory (Theater major) and Berklee College of Music (Vocal Performance major).

At age 21, Andromeda was offered the chance to go on tour and sing background vocals for Ray Charles. Meeting and working with Mr. Charles first hand inspired an even stronger work ethic and attitude towards performance, composition and the business side of music. Feeling inspired after working with Mr. Charles, she started her own band and began performing original music throughout New York City.

She was cast and starred in Woody Allen’s “Murder Mystery Blues” at the 59e59 Theater in Manhattan. During it’s run, she was critically acclaimed as:

“Dangerously attractive… soulful voice” – New York Times

“Brilliant musician… awesome performance.” -www.onlineseats.com

“Talented… glamorous… gorgeous” – British Theater Guide.

When the show ended, she packed her bags and moved to Japan to sing with the big band at Tokyo Disney for 14 months.

During her time in Japan, Andromeda was inspired by her surroundings and the incredible musicians she had the pleasure to work with daily. She produced her first album “Introducing Andromeda Turre”, arranging several jazz standards and four original compositions for her recording debut. The success of this album got Andromeda an invitation to the Grammy’s in 2008 and has had her touring in over 20 countries since then. She has been capturing the hearts of fans and critics alike.

Andromeda also began modeling while in Tokyo. Embracing fashion and her atypical model physique, this brought Andromeda a new level of confidence and creative expression. She had always been involved with her personal style, designing her own stage costumes and customizing everyday clothes from childhood. But to be a model brought a new perspective. Modeling sparked a deeper creative connection with fashion and Andromeda became increasingly interested in the world of design. Spending hours in fabric markets and trim shops throughout Asia, Andromeda studied many aspects of fashion, style and design. When she produced her first music video in Vietnam in 2010, she was able to design nearly all of her own outfits.

Her video, IN THE DARK launched a new side of Andromeda’s vocal and songwriting capabilities. Working with producer Steven Shewbrooks, she released a dance electronica album under the name EMINENT PULSE. This album had great success, licensing songs to fashion brands, TV shows, video games and receiving radio play.

Continuing to tour with her acoustic original music, Andromeda moved from Asia to Europe to build her fan base there. Falling in love with Italy in particular, Andromeda spent several months touring there and delighting in La Dolce Vita.

In 2012, Andromeda made her first foray into Russia, garnering a new arena of fans there for both singing and modeling. Major television and radio coverage, and features in Russian magazines such as Expensive Pleasure and Fashion Collection fueled Andromeda’s international exposure. She quickly began to sell out concert halls.

She also took on the position of Associate Fashion Editor for NYC based Christian fashion magazine, Graceful Chic, which she continues to do while on tour, taking conferences via skype and working via email.

2013 proves to be an exciting year for Andromeda. With an arsenal of new acoustic original songs ready to debut, and a new dance electronica album due out this spring, Andromeda is back in her native NYC and ready to make her debut in the American market.
