​

      Andree Fallas started working in the music industry when she was 14, booking bands for 'dances' at the YMCA and YBA on Oahu in Hawaii. In high school, she was active in the drama group as a dancer, wardrobe/costume coordinator and production assistant. In her 20's she opened a bikini shop, designed sportswear, worked in the Hospitality/Food & Beverage/Hotel industries, ran an artists gallery and raised her son. She ventured back into the music industry writing press releases and doing promotions for aspiring music groups and individuals, coordinated a guest DJ radio program at KIKI/I94 FM that included a weekly 'entertainment spot' called the Island Music Billboard that listed entertainment gigs for the weekend. She went on to work with Universal Pacific Communications recording Hawaiian groups, coordinating tours to Japan and an annual Japan-Hawaii-US band  concert.

She was the publicist for Kalapana and personal assistant for Henry Kapono, Pauline Wilson and the Motor City Angels. She appears in the "Year of the Hawaiian" book writing an story on the future of music in Hawaii and for a few years wrote an entertainment column for the Aloha Express magazine (a CBS Sony publication).

In 2020, she moved to Waimea on the big Island and continues to work with Jesse Snyder, Big Island Groove Band, Big Island Swing Band, Kanaka Swing Band, Fuego Latin Orchestra Hawaii and a handful of others. Occasionally, she is a stage manager for convention group events and assists at Michael Paulo's concerts in Honolulu and Temecula, CA.
