Miami, Florida’s Andrea Lopez, performing as a finalist last November in the 16th annual NewSong Music Competition finals at New York City’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Every year, NewSong receives countless song submissions from talented artists across North American and beyond. Only a handful are chosen each year as finalists. And while not all of these finalists take home the grand prize, all of them leave a lasting impression on the NewSong team. Supporting and fostering new and as-yet-undiscovered musicians is what NewSong is all about, which is why we aim to celebrate past finalists and winners in our new video series, #WeAreNewSong. 

Watch our interview with Andrea Lopez, a 2017 NewSong Songwriting Competition finalist, to learn more about what drives her songwriting and her experience with NewSong.

Andrea Lopez is our first artist featured in the series, and she is no doubt an artist to watch. This 24-year-old, bilingual songwriter from Miami self-released her last album “Echoes” in April 2017. The EP consisted of five original songs, which ranked highly on the iTunes Charts (#1 Top EPS & Singles, #5 Top Latin Albums, #8 Top Singer/Songwriter Albums) and earned her placements on numerous Spotify playlists. Additionally, her song “Por Ti” was awarded as a finalist in the Latin category of the John Lennon Songwriting Competition.
