Saskatchewan Country Closeup – Andrea An

: Jae Kim Photography

Andrea An is a multi-talented pop, R&B, and country artist. Born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The Vietnamese-Canadian singer/songwriter began taking piano lessons at the age of six, and as a teenager, taught herself to play guitar.

Creative endeavours always fueled Andrea’s passion projects, and her exploration into these avenues began with a DIY approach in photography and music. This streak of self sufficiency and natural drive is why Andrea is now the successful co-owner of Saskatchewan’s revered recording, photography, and videography studio, Nolita Studios.

She has performed at notable festivals such as Trifecta Music Festival and Country Thunder. In addition to sitting on the SaskMusic Board of Directors, Andrea was also recently nominated for the Emerging Artist of the Year award at the 2021 Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards.

Andrea joined me on the phone to chat about how the last little bit has been like, new music, and what’s on the way.
