Andrea Nicole is love; the content matter of her music is what many would consider relationship awareness. Andrea illustrates through song her past experiences of love, both good and bad. Andrea gives listeners a behind the scene look of situations that she has experienced herself, or witnessed of others. She feels that relationships can be difficult and confusing – but at the same time rewarding while providing a basis for each of her song’s thought-provoking messages.
As with many of the legendary musicians in r&b, there is a common theme, The Church. From Whitney Houston to Monica, most musicians with strong vocals and persona have originated at church. Andrea Nicole originally began her singing career as a part of a traveling gospel choir. Andrea has shared the stage with gospel legends such as Dorinda Clark-Cole, Vickie Winans, Donald Lawrence and Hezekiah Walker. Andrea Nicole is blessed with a commanding voice, which has been compared to the great Toni Braxton, due in part by her ability to change range and tones.

Exclusive Interview
ProMediaBank: Andrea, where you are from, and what was the spark that got you interested in the music industry?
Andrea Nicole: I am from Henry County GA, south of Atlanta. The spark that got me interested in the music industry was singing in my church choir as a child, school talent shows, and singing with my family at family gatherings. Music just completes me. It makes my soul happy.
ProMediaBank: Tell us a little about your first project, and how do you think you have grown since?
Andrea Nicole: The first record “Miss My Baby” was released in 2014. I received a great response on that record. I still have people reach out on social media or if I’m out and about, they stop to tell me how much that record resonated with them. I feel that my music has definitely evolved since then. The production and overall quality of my music has definitely evolved.
ProMediaBank: “In My Bed”? What was the creative process?
Andrea Nicole: Yes I love that record! Actually I was contacted by a guy in the industry named Street Sweepa and he sent me the beat and the hook and I was like yes let’s do it! The song was inspired by Eugene Wilde’s version (Gotta Get You Home Tonight) released in 1984. I contacted a friend of mine Keyiara (Penkey) who is a phenomenal artist and songwriter and she came through with the verses for me. She has written for August Alsina, Jacquees, K. Michelle, Chris Brown and more. Street Sweepa, ToNe Atlanta and I knocked the song out in just a few hours. Everything just came together. We made it our own.
ProMediaBnk: What project are you working on now? What are your plans for 2023?
Andrea Nicole: I am always working on music in some way or another. Street Sweepa and I are currently working on a new record… It’s definitely a vibe!

ProMediaBank: What would you consider as your defining moment?
Andrea Nicole: A defining moment for me is when I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 2015. It’s an inflammatory/autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body but most commonly the lungs and lymph nodes. The late legendary comedian Bernie Mac suffered from the disease as well. It was a very hard time in my life because I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know if I could ever do music again and that was heartbreaking.
