We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrea Jenkins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrea, how do you think about risk?
With being a musician, everything is a risk.

“Will they like my music?”
“Will this be a bop or a huge flop?”

Alot of time. Money and energy goes into making music.

We pour our hearts & souls into our music. So we are literally baring all to the World. It’s a very vulnerable place, and very risky.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I started off doing YouTube in 2014. I thought I could dance like they do in the step up movies, haha.. after watching the video’s back I was like “and now this is a comedy channel!” And uploaded them anyways. If I can make someone laugh. Awesome!
Laughter is medicine for the soul.

Resilience, learning from growing as a person and God have gotten me where I am today.

I have been truly blessed and I think most people have. They just need to open their eyes and realize that and appreciate it!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I have a few different bestfriends so it varies honestly- but, one example would be:

If they haven’t been here before. Let’s take a tour of Holland. Holland is a beautiful beach town off of Lake Michigan.
Very rich in Dutch culture. From the Wooden shoe restaurant, to Windmill Island.
I would also take them to the beach. Love being out there on the sand watching the waves. It’s peaceful.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My children are my number one motivators. I have 5 kids & they push me to be the best version of myself that I can be everyday.

God. Without God I wouldn’t have come this far in life. Once my memoir is out. You will understand why.

My late Mother & Grandmother- they shaped and molded me into who I am today.

All of the above is why I am who I am & I am so grateful that God gave me these people in this life!
