Andrea Ortega, Singer Songwriter Interview, The Paige Roberts Show

As a small child I guess you could say I already knew what I wanted to do in life and that was spend my days singing .At school talent shows I was the first to sign up.As a teenager my Dad hired a band and put us on the road singing.Bars and roadhouses was not my cup of tea so I soon tired of all the traveling and begged my folks to let me drop it for a while.,They agreed and I put my music on hold.Between raising kids and work I still managed to hit a few of the local clubs in our area where they would let me sing. One nite Shelly West and David Frizzell were in concert.Some of my buddies persuaded them to listen to me sing.Afte the song they told me I should positively continue singing because I sounded like a female Elvis Presley needless to say I took it as a great compliment and continued to sing and write music, the only thing that changed is my music is now Gospel.
