In London, when Andréa started to make music, she heard a cool song by Legendary Pink Dots that had a trumpet. She spontaneously got the idea to add trumpet to a song she wanted to make and thus went out to get one. She went out to a music shop, bought herself a trumpet, and coming home she aimed to try it, but no sound came out. Andréa, quite surprised and disappointed that it was so difficult to play trumpet, thus returned the trumpet to the shop. She said she felt kind of stupid when she returned to the shop.
