Andrea Motis

Emerging from Barcelona, Spain, Andrea Motis channels her skills as a singer and trumpeter into emotive, romantic jazz. She entered the world in 1995 and commenced training on trumpet and saxophone during childhood. At age 13 she performed as vocalist and trumpeter with the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, guided by her mentor, saxophonist Joan Chamorro. Her recorded introduction arrived in 2010 at age 15 with the standards album Joan Chamorro Presenta Andrea Motis. Further favorably received releases followed, among them 2012’s Feeling Good and 2015’s Live at Palau de la Música. Motis reached Impulse! Records in 2017 with Emotional Dance.
