Andrea Manuel was born and raised in the Philippines. She completed a bachelor’s degree at St Scholastica’s College, Manila in 2019 studying under Professor Camille Molina and subsequently at Guildhall School of Music and Drama under Susan Waters where she graduated with first class honours and a Concert Recital Diploma in 2023. Recently she participated in the London Song Festival for the Schubert Song Prize and in the 19th International Robert Schumann Competition in Germany. Andrea is grateful for the generous support of multiple patrons and scholarships. Her singing is highly influenced by her Christian background and she aspires to bring the Filipino classical voice to the global stage.
