Andrea Kirwin

“Andrea Kirwin has a rare voice that runs deep....deep enough to carry you back to an era where the way an artist delivered their message was everything.” - LIOR

"When I heard Andrea I was totally excited to hear such a competent, unique and exciting new songwriter. It is one of the joys of being a musician, traveling the globe and hearing exciting music that I wouldn’t have found at home, yet it is a rare joy. I find there are many competent yet mediocre musicians out there and Andrea was way above anything I had heard for a long long time."
                             - KRISTINA OLSEN

Andrea Kirwin is an Australian/Fijian Soul Artist and Producer based in Nambour on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Releasing music under her own independent Record Label Peace Run Records since 2013, Andrea responded to the Covid pandemic by opening up a shopfront during Covid and now performs full time and also offers music industry mentoring, songwriting sessions and boutique live and livestream events from Queen St in Nambour.

In May 2021, Andrea released her 5th Album, 'Bloom', with her 13 piece band, The Yama-Nui Social Club. The album is inspired by Andrea's love of her Fiance and partner of 13 years Claire, and is dedicated to her. Born out of a time when the live music scene had all but died, the concept behind the record was a call to resilience, and was partly funded thanks to Andrea's Patreon family, who also sang on the album on 'We Shall Overcome' and appear in the music video as well. Andrea has released 'Bloom' on Vinyl, cd and digital downloads and is available on all Streaming Platforms worldwide.

Andrea is a strong advocate for independence in the Music industry and has self produced her latest album and her previous albums - 'From the Ground Up', (2013), 'The Story of Us', (2015), 'A Quiet Revolution', (2017) and her collaborative children's album, 'Songs for our Little Friends', with Nyssa Ray (2020), which won best Children's song at this year's Queensland Music Awards in 2021.

Andrea is currently taking part in a Sounds Australia Music Export Program, Global Music Match, a three month International program that consists of 78 Artists from around the world who are mentored by International Festival programmers and music industry representatives while collaborating and creating content and promoting each other to their audiences.
