Born and raised in New Jersey, Amanda’s parents swear she was humming at 6-months and carrying a tune at the age of two. When her grandmother witnessed the young diva humming she exclaimed: “My granddaughter is going to be a singer!” Amanda eventually took after her grandfather who is the musical talent of the family. As years went on, Amanda was influenced by the styles of Broadway. She became actively involved with the prestigious Paper Mill Playhouse, the State Theater of New Jersey. Amanda attended the Paper Mill Playhouse’s yearly 5-week intensive “Summer Conservatory Program” for four years. After realizing her voice was extremely soulful and powerful, she found her true love in R&B and pop music where she was influenced by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera.
