AndreaH grew up around music. Quite literally. As the daughter of a concert producer, AndreaH has been exposed to and has seen many performing artists—an experience that would probably shame even the most avid live music fan. Naturally, the future singer took a liking to the amazing environment and eventually embarked on a career performing in front of large audiences.

And she’s been doing quite a remarkable job at it. And while AndreaH might be a name that is yet to be known to the Pinoy music listening public at large, you might have caught her opening for some of your favorite acts as early as 2018.

To date, AndreaH has opened for headlining acts such as Michael Learns To Rock, Lukas Graham, The Script, and Sam Smith, to name a few.  

I personally caught her warming up an overly enthusiastic crowd at The Samsung Hall in  BGC for a Matt Maltese show back in 2023. I must say she held her own and was a pleasant listen that added to the vibe of the experience. She definitely knows the business and how to further hype the audience.

As mentioned, AndreaH (a mash-up of her first and surname initial) grew up around music. And while her father worked the live production business, she was also doing her own homework. She started writing little songs when she was thirteen years old and released her first single independently in 2018. Her song “Best Friend,” a piano-decked ballad, is as good an effort as any 17-year-old singer-songwriter would put out into the world. AndreaH has since released several more singles: “Dream,” a duet with Donny Pangilinan (2020), the R&B-tinged pop song “Hanap,” released just last year, which featured rising singer David La Sol, and several more solo singles.

While she shuttled between Asian countries (primarily Thailand and Hong Kong), AndreaH said her Pinoy roots tug at her, and she considers Manila home, where her Filipina mom is from. Also, Manila is where she had the extraordinary experience of opening for all those hit artists. Having her life so intertwined with music (and Manila) at such an early age (she is now 24), it was inevitable that she would formally launch her music career in good ‘ol Pinas.

So here she is now: AndreaH recently made her major-label debut with “Tahanan.” Released under the Ivory Music label (of the Viva Music Group), “Tahanan” is an English-translated version of the El Manu song of the same title. Her take is  “known to tenderly capture a slow-burn love story between two people who went through ‘almost-but-never-enough’ moments.” If you have a TOTGA (the one that got away) in your life, you would definitely know this feeling. There’s a happy ending to the AndreaH song, though, as the description goes: “In the end, fate brings their hearts back together, finally allowing them to fulfill the love they have long been committed to.”

If only all could be so lucky. Anyway, AndreaH is here, and it’s a promising start for a major label debut.

You can see more of AndreaH on TikTok. She’s had her share of viral moments and has had fun at the same time doing takes of her favorite songs from UDD, Arthur Nery, Syd Harta, Sugar Cane and doing “English versions” of songs like Over October’s “Ikot” (“what if ‘Eee-caught’ was in English!”)  and Cup of Joe’s “Multo” (“what if Maul-Tow was in English!”). Hangkyut!
