A Bit of the Backstory...
Andrea Koziol has performed live in every type of venue from coast to coast to coast of this great land. Her music can be heard in Canadian films, the “The R Word”, “The Baby Formula” and “Elemental”. Her writing skills have recently been featured on jazz prodigy Michael Kaeshammer’s debut album “Lovelight”, and she is a devoted member of the all girl vocal ensemble Lushus. She has collaborated with the likes of guitar great Kevin Breit, members of the Toronto Tabla Ensemble, and countless birds in her backyard. She continues a very rewarding relationship with Jeans and Classics, singing with symphony orchestras across the continent. She is delighted to have received the OAC administered KM Hunter Award for music…oh, and she’s discovered that she really doesn’t care what anyone (except her Mom and Robert Everett Green) thinks about her.What folks are saying…
“…exquisite singing, buoyant melodies, tasty-ass playing…”

“Andrea Koziol proves conclusively that Toronto has an abundance of outrageously talented chicks making music that springs straight from the soul.”

“…(she) methodically entrances the listener with a gorgeous voice that comes from the theory that less is so much more.”

“she will touch you in a way that you will want to be touched again.”
