Vogue about Andreya Triana

At first glance, Andreya Triana brings to mind The Cosby's Denise Huxtable, '80s clothing and all. She's got a bright-eyed, youthful, wholesome exterior that contradicts her husky, jazzy, seen-it-all voice. You might recognize her sublime vocals from the sexy Flying Lotus track, Tea Leaf Dancers, which became a hit on the Gilles Peterson lead soul, rare groove and house music circuit. It's the kind of song you might hear playing in the lobby of a swanky boutique hotel.

Meanwhile, her single, Lost Where I Belong, from her upcoming debut album of the same name, is much softer, more folksy and a little pensive. It covers the angst and uncertainty that most starving artists bump up against. She's had a lot of experience in this area, having started singing at the age of 7 in South East London where she grew up before going on to give one-woman gigs while working various odd jobs.
