Her style is her own. A unique mix of Miles Davis in attitude, Sade in sincerity, Bob Marley in skank and Billie Holiday in blue, SOLADE and her music promise to open you to something new... Inspirations of reality blend into original compositions written in collaboration with Cameroonian producer/musician Francis Mbappe. Her unique voice combining a blend of reggae and jazz with Brazilian overtones is illuminated by the production skills of Mbappe. Half Argentinean, half American, born in Panama and raised in the Marshall Islands, former Micronesian swimming champion SOLADÉ earned her Bachelor of Arts in trumpet performance at Oberlin Conservatory. She proceeded to tour the Mediterranean with the jazz combo of the MS Rotterdam before moving to New York City in the winter of 2001. "Her playing was streamlined and lyrical." - New York Times Since her arrival in New York City Andrea Lindborg has persevered to find her sound and fulfill her destiny and transfiguration as SOLADÉ. Like many aspiring musicians that migrate to the city with big dreams, she found herself struggling to make ends meet and honed her 'island big city sound' in the subway transit system. SOLADÉ landed her first New York gig as a featured trumpeter at Jazz Lincoln Center's "Night of the Cookers". The evening's program was a tribute to Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan. She has toured internationally with the world-renowned all female ensembles: modern jazz band "DIVA", "Kit McClure's Female All Stars", and world music sensation "Femm Nameless," toured and recorded with afro beat orchestra "KOKOLO", and has played NYC's gamut of venues including Birdland, SOB's, Zinc Bar, Sweet Rhythm with numerous jazz, funk, world music and Afro Beat bands.
