Information about Andrea True

Andrea True (born July 26, 1943, Nashville, Tennessee) is a former adult film star who was also a singer during the disco era[1]. She had multiple stage names, including Inger Kissin, Andrea Travis, Singh Low, and Singe Low.

Biography

True attended Saint Cecilia Academy, a conservative all-girl Catholic school in Nashville, where she was a boarding student. She graduated in 1956. True moved to New York City as a teenager, to seek fame as a mainstream movie star. While she did manage to get some minor roles in mainstream movies, the fame she sought was fleeting. Desperate for work, she decided to pursue a career as a porn star. She appeared in more than 60 hardcore porn films in the early to mid-1970s and distinguished herself as one of the most recognizable porn stars in the early New York adult film industry

During her heyday as a porn actress, True was hired by a real estate business on the Caribbean island of Jamaica to produce a commercial. During her stay, a political crisis gripped the island and no one was allowed to leave with any money. Long interested in pursuing a music career, True asked her friend, record producer Gregg Diamond to travel to the island and produce a track for her, which she would finanace locally. Diamond arrived with a composition in hand, to which True added lyrics. The result of their collaboration, "More, More, More" was sung by True accompanied by local Jamaican musicians.

Ultimately remixed by producer Tom Moulton, More, More, More became a favorite in discos and nightclubs. It ultimately reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a full-scale, platinum selling album with the same title soon followed. In early 1977, True released the single N.Y. You Got Me Dancing from her White Witch follow-up album. The single became True's second biggest hit, reaching #27 on Billboard's Pop chart. In 1980 she released her third and final album, War Machine a more punk rock-oriented album, which went virtually unnoticed.

True briefly returned to porn after the failure of her third album, but soon realized that there was little work in the porn industry for a woman in her late 30's. She was unable to return to music because a Goitre had developed on her vocal chords that required surgery, which in turn ended her singing career. So she went on to live a more private life.

In 1999 True resurfaced into the public eye when the Canadian group Len sampled the catchy beat from "More, More, More" in their own hit single, "Steal My Sunshine". She has since appeared on a number of VH1 specials including Where Are They Now in 1999, VH1's 100 Greatest Dance Songs in 2001 ("More, More, More" was the #45 greatest dance song) and VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders in 2003, where she said she wants to be remembered as a person who "gave people pleasure" — then made sure to emphasize the words — "with her music." She also made an appearance in the 2005 documentary movie Inside Deep Throat. She is currently living in Florida where she works as an astrologist and as a counselor at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.
