Vocalist and composer Andromeda Turre hails from New York City and was raised within the legacy of jazz’s foremost voices—immersed in the presence of legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach and Ray Charles. 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 album, From the Earth, is a programmatic jazz suite addressing environmental justice and amplifying humanity’s deep connection to the planet. Made possible by the 2023 Jazz Road Creative Residencies Grant from SouthArts, funded by Doris Duke Foundation with additional support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, as well as a 2024 Support for Artists Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts sponsored by ArtsWestchester, From the Earth exemplifies Turre’s vision to use music as a vehicle for empathy, awareness, and social transformation.

Turre has headlined stages across 17 countries, captivating audiences with her powerful, emotionally resonant performances. She is also an accomplished composer for film, television, video games, and theater. Among her honors, Turre received three 2025 World Entertainment Awards for Best Jazz Artist, Best Jazz Album (From the Earth) and Best Social Awareness Song (Cryosphere) as well as the 2024 Arts Award for Advancing Equity from Arts Westchester and the 2024 Global Music Awards Silver Medal for Jazz for her album From the Earth.
