“ANDREENA - NAKED & STRIPPED”




Celebrating the pre-release of her newest album "Naked," Andreena performs at Wrongbar with full live band on Sunday, January 20th 2013 at 8pm EST alongside Sean Leon, Owen "O'Sound" Lee, Never & many other talented opening acts from The Remix Project & more. 

Bio: Pianist, lyrical scribe and songstress, Andreena, is a musical powerhouse. She began her career at the young age of three after her father, also a musician, realized her musical potential. By 2001 she entered the world of female R&B groups as a member of the Canadian trio, X-Quisite, alongside MTV Canada host, Nicole Holness and Universal Motown’s Melanie Fiona. The group earned nominations for the Canadian Urban Music Awards and Juno Awards in 2003. Later Andreena established a solo career, and after releasing her first mix-tape, Ready to Fly in 2009, she signed on as a writer for Universal Music Publishing in 2010.

Today, Andreena records, composes and produces, independently, collaborating with industry veterans such as DMX (Album: Undisputed "Cold World" & "No Love"); among others, she has worked with Drake (The Comeback Season, “Closer”), The Bizness (Chris Brown, “No Bullshit”), Brian Michael Cox (Mary J. Blige, “Be Without You”), James Fauntleroy (Jordin Sparks, “No Air”), Kevin McCall (Keri Hilson, “One Night Stand”, Chris Brown “Deuces”) and Needlz (Bruno Mars, “Just The Way You Are”).
Naked marks the re-birth of Andreena, formerly known as “Andreena Mill”, as the musical maven bares all, for more than just the cover of the EP. Now, with a new team, new brand and new music, the future looks promising for Andreena, as she prepares for the debut of her latest album, Naked.

Jazz at The Paintbox Bistro ft. Jackie Richardson





The Archie Alleyne Trio, featuring trumpeter Alexander Brown Cabrera and special guest, Jackie Richardson!

Paint box Lounge is proud to host a celebration of drummer Archie Alleyne’s 80th Birthday.

Alleyne is a true legend of the Toronto jazz scene, having spent over 10 years in the house band at the fabled Town Tavern, as well as being the drummer of choice for many visiting band leaders.

Alleyne was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 2011, in honour of both his musical longevity and his support of young musicians through his foundation, the Archie Alleyne Scholarship Fund.

Joining Archie on stage will be his long-time trio, Stacie McGregor on piano and Artie Roth on bass. 

They will be joined by young trumpet star Alex Brown Cabrera and Canada’s soulful jazz vocalist, Jackie Richardson.
