Andrea Motis is a Catalan jazz trumpeter, saxophonist, and vocalist who has emerged as an eloquent new voice in the jazz world. Born on May 9, 1995, in Barcelona, Spain, she began her musical journey at a young age and was notably taken under the wing of bassist and composer Joan Chamorro, who led the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, a well-regarded ensemble for young musicians. Motis' mature musicality and serene stage presence quickly drew attention, and by her teens, she was already a notable figure on the European jazz scene.

With an expressive style that seamlessly blends both instrumental and vocal talents, Andrea Motis has developed an evocative sound that is deeply rooted in traditional jazz yet infused with a modern sensibility. Her discography reflects an artist who is comfortable with a wide range of genres, from classic jazz standards like "Moon River" to folk tunes such as "Omie Wise", showcasing her ability to reinterpret various musical narratives with freshness and authenticity. Her growing body of work, which includes the releases like "Colors & Shadows" and "Do Outro Lado Do Azul," reveals an artist dedicated to exploring the deeper shades of jazz through both collaboration and solo projects. Andrea’s talent transcends linguistic barriers, and she continues to captivate audiences both in Spain and internationally, expanding her musical universe with each new project.
