BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Andromeda Turre is a vocalist, composer and SiriusXM radio host from New York City. Raised within the legacy of jazz’s foremost voices—immersed in the presence of legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Ray Charles and Wynton Marsalis—Turre absorbed invaluable insights into jazz’s artistry and legacy, observing their mastery firsthand. As the daughter of trombonist Steve Turre and cellist Akua Dixon, this lineage does more than inform her artistry; it offers a foundation from which she redefines boundaries, bridging heritage with innovation. Educated at Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music, Turre bridges classical, contemporary, and theatrical frameworks into jazz, creating a voice uniquely her own.

Her latest project, From the Earth, is a programmatic jazz suite addressing environmental justice and amplifying humanity's deep connection to the planet. Supported by the 2023 Jazz Road Creative Residencies Grant from SouthArts, funded by Doris Duke and Andrew W. Mellon Foundations, as well as a 2024 Support for Artists Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, From the Earth exemplifies Turre’s vision to use music as a vehicle for empathy, awareness, and social transformation. 

Turre has performed across 17 countries, captivating audiences with her powerful, emotionally resonant performances. She is also an accomplished composer for film, television, video games, and theater. In addition to her artistic achievements, Turre is a Cornell University-certified Diversity & Inclusion consultant, working with arts organizations, schools, and municipalities since 2007. She fosters dialogue and cross-cultural understanding through the arts.

Among her honors, Turre received the 2024 Arts Award for Advancing Equity from Arts Westchester, 2024 Global Music Awards Silver Medal for Jazz for her album From the Earth and she is currently nominated for three 2025 World Entertainment Awards for Best Jazz Artist, Best Jazz Album (From the Earth) and Best Social Awareness Song (Cryosphere).
