Born in Santa Cruz and grew up in Sunnyvale, California (the heart of Silicon Valley). Went to UC Davis after high school to study engineering. Joined a Jazz/Swing/Ska band called the Irradicats and fell in love with Ella Fitzgerald. Her new interest in jazz singing led her to Berklee College of Music where she got a degree in Professional Music. Supporting herself through college Amanda sang at many many restaurants, bars, clubs, weddings and cruise ships (evening tours around Boston Harbor). Eventually she moved to Paterson, New Jersey because of a great deal and its close proximity to New York. In Paterson she wrote the bulk of the music for “Short Songs (EP)”, her debut release. Amanda currently lives in Harlem, teaching, writing and practicing Bikram yoga. Amanda sings with her band in New York and with the Vadim Neselovskyi Group.
