Andrea Desiree Lewis
AKA:
Andrea Desiree Lewis
Andrea Desiree Lewis was born on August 15, 1985 in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. Her most recognized role is on Degrassi: The Next Generation as Hazel Aden.

Andrea's artistic talents began emerging from an early age and now fans worldwide will be groovin' and chillin' to her debut album 'Float Away'. Andrea has fashioned a career not only out of her chameleon like acting abilities-which have landed her movie roles alongside Hollywood legend Diahann Carroll and teen sensation Hilary Duff, but also out of her sexy, sultry voice reminiscent of Aaliyah but brimming with soul

More à la Aretha Franklin.

Her album 'Float Away' is now available. She's been writing her own lyrics since age 12, Andrea co-wrote her entire album in collaboration with renowned producer Justin Grey and writer Curtis Richardson. Andrea also collaborated with other well known industry professionials Ray Robinson, Kevin Keith and Marcus Kane. The result is a pop R&B album with an old-school twist brimming with songs that offer a candid view to her own experiences of love, heartbreak and triumphs, appealing to all her audience. While most little girls imitated Brandy, Andrea mimicked Queen of Motown Diana Ross, right down to her larger-than-life hairdo; and while other eight-year-olds in talent competitions trotted out songs from The Little Mermaid, Andrea belted out Whitney Houston ballads. Although this beautiful young lady may have an old soul, Andrea is still very much a bona fide teenager who loves to shop, and chat about boys. Her video for Superwoman has even been airing on MuchMusic, MTV Canada and MTV, The-N in the U.S

This ambitious young lady is just getting started, she is now writing scripts for TV movies and aside from recording her debut album, she has just completed shooting the fifth season of Degrassi: The next Generation starring as the reliable, go-to girl Hazel. Andrea has been featured in the pages of the New York Times, Teen People and Entertainment Weekly magazines, and has garnered fans from around the world. She also recently completed filming the TV series Moccasin Flats where she plays soul singer Melissa and featuring songs from her album. Andrea prides herself in giving back to the community, whether it's participating in YWCA GirlJam3, United Way and UNICEF campaigns, playing with kids from Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children or hanging out with underprivileged youth.

    Andrea Lewis is a pretty average actress - not the greatest - but I do think she deserves more of a chance. hide show

    Even though Andrea Lewis is in her twenty's, and plays younger roles, she doesn't do them half that bad. Her probably most popular role is Hazel, on Degrassi: The Next Generation, where she doesn't get a lot of screentime. She, however, has been in other movies, such as Cadet Kelly, and also has a singing career (her CD "Float Away" came out not so long ago). To me, she has the potential, but she just hasn't had the opportunity. Maybe if she were to have more screentime on Degrassi, or more dramatic and challenging roles, people would think better of her, but that's just me. Andrea seems like a total sweetheart, and I wouldn't mind meeting her.

    She's okay. hide show

    Yes, she's a good actress, but, eh, she's just good. There was one scene in Degrassi: The Next Generation where I was watching her and I was just like: "Wow. What crappy acting." That one scene, where she found out something about Jimmy, told to her by a teacher, and she was just standing there, almost crying (it looked too fake) and she just kept saying, "No! Noo! No!" But that was only one scene, and all actors have their bad days. But I haven't really paid attention to her acting much, so it's wrong of me to judge her.
