Andrea Kempson is an Essex based singer-songwriter. Growing up on the coast of Devon it's no coincidence that her sound reflects such a landscape.  Drawing from her love of folk music, learnt from her Irish roots she writes music that is full of heart and inspired by her life experiences. Last year she released two EPs 'Out of the Water' and 'What we are'. 

Folkroom records says: " With her recent EP, Andrea Kempson has found her voice as a songwriter. Soft and yet defined, her sound ripples like water in the rain. Here's an artist coming into her own"
