Andrea Hamilton

California-based singer, pianist, and songwriter Andrea Hamilton grew up in Kansas, where she was singing songs before she could spell. She began writing songs in earnest in high school, beginning her professional songwriting career at the age of 16. Relocating to Los Angeles when she was 18 years old, Hamilton studied at Azusa Pacific University, earning a B.A. in music. She toured Asia in 2006, then self-booked a West Coast tour in true indie style upon her return to the U.S. She has co-written material with a whole host of writers, including James Grey, Micah Dahlberg, Kevin Fisher, Leah Andreone, and Alan Waddington, among others, and has self-released several collections, beginning with 2006's Stronger Than I Seem, followed by 2007's Live at Safe Haven and the Only Love EP. The full-length Deciding What to Keep appeared in 2008. Green & Blue arrived via CD Baby in 2012, with Let Your Heart Be Light following a year later in 2013.
