2) Andrea is a pop star from Skopje, North Macedonia. Born 14 February 2000, her love of music began at age 5, when her parents moved to Harlem for a one-year program.

The daughter of a law professor father and a physician mother, her parents expected her to follow a “respectable” career.
In October 2020, she released her debut single "I Know," which has accrued over 100k streams on Spotify and over 300k views on YouTube. “I Know” was the feature of a premiere in a prestigious UK music blog, Blackplastic, which described “I Know” as a love song that quivers with the excitement of an instant attraction.

His recent #OneSampleOneDay project which involved him creating one track built around a different sample suggested by his fans and peers every day for 31 days gained him a huge amount of respect and exposure.
His remix of “Mantra” by new MTA Records signing Abigail Wyles is out now and Andrea is currently working on another remix for a new Sony artist.
His Production work is also in high demand with Andrea producing a track for Lena Cullen who’s been working with Shadow Child and Justin Martin amongst others. That track will be out later in the year. Andrea’s also working with a new R&S signing as well as another MTA artist.
Andrea is also currently working on a collaborative album with other talented producers including Odesza, Greenwood Sharps, Catching Flies, Bear//Face and Ta-Ku to name but a few.

He recently supported Flume in Paris and has more shows coming up around Europe so expect to see and hear plenty more from Andrea over the coming months and years.
6) Producer & DJ from Turin, Italy. Releases primarily through the label "Ilian Tape".
Born and raised in Turin, passionated by music and art, since his childhood Andrea started to buy vinyl records approaching music across all different genres (from new wave and post-punk to reggae and dub music).
His work is the result of years of musical identity research, of different experiments and continuous attention to techno evolution in the last decades.
In his productions Andrea tries to mix sundry elements related to 90s Breakbeat and IDM with excursion to warehouse techno and house. Turin city has a key role in his sound; its dark and post-industrial soul clearly emerges in every track. Emotive melodies and abstract sounds, heavy kicks and low-end drum, atmo-pads and chord progressions are the significant elements of his music.
Behind the decks and also in his live set, he creates an intense atmosphere with a mixture of effective dancefloor bangers and stepping rhythms.

Circles
Andrea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz I've been catchin' your stares all night
You say we're just dancing
We're just having fun
But I still crave for more
Even when the night is done
How long can we go on
I've been so patient
We keep runnin' in circles
But baby I want ya
Right here tonight
And we don't have to define it
But you can't deny it
This feeling is right
Darling, you're pulling me in closer
Wanting you more with every touch
Oh, late night conversations
And feeling sensations
Synced like we're dancing to Rhythm Nation
Use your imagination
How long can we go on
I've been so crazy
Thinking bout' the things we can do
We keep runnin' in circles
But baby I want ya
Right here tonight
And we don't have to define it
But you can't deny it
This feeling is right
We keep on running
We keep on running
We keep on running in circles
Oh, we keep on running
We keep on running
We keep on running…
We keep runnin' in circles
But baby I want ya
Right here tonight
And we don't have to define it
But you can't deny it
This feeling is right
We keep on running
We keep on running
We keep on running in circles
Oh, we keep on running
We keep on running
We keep on running…
Andrea's song "Circles" is about a person who wants more in a relationship but is not sure if the other person feels the same way. The first verse introduces the singer's frustration with the situation. They have been catching the other person's stares all night, and while the other person insists they are just having fun dancing, the singer wants something more. This conflict is repeated in the chorus where they sing "We keep runnin' in circles, but baby, I want ya right here tonight." It is clear that the singer wants to take the relationship to the next level but is waiting for the other person to reciprocate.
In the second verse, the singer describes their attraction to the other person, including "late-night conversations" and "feeling sensations" synced like they are dancing to Rhythm Nation. This bridge section also includes a line directing the listener to use their imagination, encouraging them to picture the relationship's potential. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that both parties are running in circles, unsure where the relationship is going.
Andrea's lyrics are simple yet relatable, describing the confusion and frustration of wanting a relationship to evolve. The use of "running in circles" metaphorically describes a circular relationship where there is no progression. The song suggests a longing for a deeper connection, but the fear of rejection stops the singer from taking the next step. Overall, "Circles" portrays a realistic picture of the push and pull of relationships and the desire for more but not knowing how to initiate change.
