In the quiet hamlet of Cumbria, a star was born – Amanda. With a passion for music sparked in her early childhood, Amanda has since danced across the vast stage of the music industry, leaving an indelible trail of melody in her wake.
Her journey truly began in 2002, when she graced the small screen of the popular UK TV show “Stars in their Eyes.”Amanda wasn’t just another participant; she was a shining beacon of youthful talent. Notably, she was the first to be selected for the children’s edition of the show, a testament to her exceptional prowess. The host, Matthew Kelly, publicly hailed her as the very embodiment of the reason behind the creation of the Kids’ version.
It’s not just her early start that distinguishes Amanda, though. Following her TV debut, she gained increasing traction, performing at festivals and events throughout the UK. There, she shared the limelight with heavyweights like Elton John, Westlife, Boyzone, The Sugababes, McFly, and The Hoosiers. It wasn’t long before Boyzone extended an invitation for her to accompany them on their sold-out tour across the UK and Ireland, an opportunity that led Amanda to perform in prestigious venues like the O2, Wembley, and the MEN.
A true music aficionado, Amanda’s talents extend far beyond her enchanting vocals. As a gifted songwriter, she has co-authored award-winning songs for artists like Raisa. Moreover, her ability to craft compelling narratives through her music has made her a sought-after collaborator for ad campaigns, notably featuring The Paris Saint Germain Soccer Team, Cil, and Andrea Pirlo.
Now, Amanda is back in the spotlight with her latest release, “Rush.” This captivating track is a brilliant convergence of electro-pop and disco, characterized by Amanda’s silky vocals, punctuated by the rich symphony of disco strings. The driving melodies and vibrant arrangements are reminiscent of the golden era of disco, with an unmistakable modern twist.
“Rush” is not just a song; it’s an invitation to surrender to the rhythm, to relinquish inhibitions, and to embrace the exhilarating journey of life. Amanda articulates her intention behind the track, stating, “I’d love for my music to give others that safe space to just be and feel without boundaries.” And that is precisely what “Rush” achieves.
Produced by Antonio Dixon, the mastermind behind hits for artists like Ariana Grande and Beyoncé, “Rush” is a testament to Amanda’s evolving sound and growing prominence in the music world. When asked about a dream collaboration, Amanda mentions Kaytranada, citing his intricate music production as an inspiring force.
As she continues to captivate audiences with her fresh releases, Amanda is also working on an upcoming EP, set to drop this fall. If “Rush” is any indication, we can anticipate an EP filled with electric rhythms, sweeping melodies, and the potent emotional resonance that has become Amanda’s signature.
From her humble beginnings in Cumbria to sharing stages with industry legends and winning international acclaim, Amanda continues to push boundaries and redefine the sonic landscape. With her new single, “Rush,” and the anticipated EP, Amanda has proven that she is not just a star in the cosmos of music; she is a fiery comet, illuminating the path for the next generation of artists.
