Se formó musicalmente, a partir de los 7 años, en la Escola Municipal de Música de Sant Andreu, un barrio de Barcelona, como trompetista primero y saxofonista después. En 2007, con sólo 12 años, comenzó a colaborar con el grupo de jazz Sant Andreu Jazz Band, dirigido por el profesor de música y músico Joan Chamorro. Ha participado en numerosos conciertos del circuito catalán de jazz. Debido a su precocidad numerosos medios de comunicación la han entrevistado o han escrito reseñas de su actividad musical. Su voz se ha comparado con la de Norah Jones. En 2010, con solo 15 años, graba como cantante solista un disco de estándares de jazz titulado Joan Chamorro presenta Andrea Motis. 

Recientemente ofrece conciertos en el denominado "Andrea Motis & Joan Chamorro Group".Logró a estar entre los 10 finalistas de los premios "Català de l'any 2011" otorgados por "El Periódico de Catalunya". Pero rechazó seguir adelante, según declararon sus padres, porque esa candidatura llegaba "en una etapa inadecuada de su vida".Con 17 años pasó unas pruebas para una escuela de artísticos llamada Oriol Martorell, situada en Nou Barris, Barcelona. Allí terminó de formarse profesionalmente. Bio ~ http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Motis

4 years ago, Joan Chamorro was commissioned to assemble and lead an orchestra as a tribute to Miles Davis, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of his death. Pere Pons, artistic director of the Jamboree Club and San Miguel Mas i Mas Festival was the one who made the assignment to Chamorro: he wanted it to accompany the publication of a special issue dedicated to the Missouri trumpeter’s imprint left in Catalonia. Thus, besides the memories, anecdotes and words, all would revive in its most natural form, music. The effort would result in a unique concert, on August 31, 2011 at the Apolo in Barcelona, that would be recorded and published together with the monograph. Taking advantage of the enormous work that he had been doing with the Sant Andreu Jazz Band and Andrea Motis, Joan Chamorro decided to incorporate some of the young ones to form the Miles Tribut Big Band. They would also count with great soloists as bassist Carles Benavent (the only one who had come to work with Miles Davis), guitarist Jordi Bonell, saxophonist Llibert Fortuny and trumpeter Matthew Simon. Selected themes reviewed the different stages of Miles Davis, and arrangements were ordered from Alfons Carrascosa and Sergi Verges, two masters of detail. The production received its name recalling the 1960's Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis and Gil Evans. The concert was a resounding success: musicians, critics and audience. Today, four years later, the tribute has been celebrated again, this time at the Palau de la Musica Catalana and as the opening concert of 13 San Miguel Mas i Mas Festival. And Joan Chamorro has decided to reissue this particular album and finally make it available to everyone.

Personnel:  Joan Chamorro (Conductor, baritone, tenor and alto sax, bass clarinet); Matthew Simon, Jaume Peña, Alba Armengou (Trumpet); Andrea Motis (Trumpet and vocals); Josep Tutusaus, Sergi Verges, Dani Tellez (Trombone); Eva Fernandez (Baritone, alto and soprano sax and clarinet); Joan Marti, Alba Esteban (Alto sax); Isce Datzira (Tenor sax and clarinet); Carles Vazquez (Tenor sax and flute); Joan Monne (Piano and keyboards); Curro Galvez (Double bass, electric bass); Carles Benavent (Bass); Esteve Pi (Drums).

This second CD of 'Joan Chamorro presenta' is one more thing that makes me proud of my work. Eva Fernández is a musician since I met her, at age 7. She has always showed outstanding ability and sensibility. Her Petite Fleur in the Sant Andreu Jazz Band's first CD, with her friend Andrea Motis, has moved me a lot of times and has made me feel proud of her. Her alto sax sound is clean and powerful, and her work as a lead of the saxophone section is brilliant.

Eva is a soprano, alto and baritone saxophonist as well as clarinetist. On this record we can enjoy her good work with the soprano and alto saxophones, but what really stands out is her voice, which has a characteristic and special timbre that she modulates depending on what she wants to communicate. Her performer and jazz musician condition also allows her to express all sort of melodies in a different way. ~Joan Chamorro

With Scott Robinson, Dick Oatts, Ignasi Terraza, Andrea Motis, Esteve Pi, Josep Traver, Curro Gálvez, Víctor Correa, Jaume Ferrer, Sant Andreu Jazz Band.
