Amanda Holmes

Amanda Holmes出生并成长在旧金山的一个郊区，她几乎将所有的童年时光花费在音乐，舞蹈和体操方面。在读高中期间，Amanda Holmes曾发行过一张专辑，填词编曲与制作发行这张专辑花费了她将近三年的时间。2009年3月，Amanda Holmes通过主流音乐厂牌发行了个人的第二张全新EP专辑 《From My Heart》。同年5月，第三张EP专辑《Savory Second》也上市发行。跟前几张EP专辑一样，新EP作品《Chasing the Sun》中的歌曲依然舒缓地传达着一些感激生命, 感悟人生的哲理。[酱油小子] Amanda Holmes grew up in a suburb of San Francisco. She spent her childhood heavily involved with music, dancing and gymnastics (twelve years of competitive gymnastics). She released her first album as a senior in high school, having spent three years producing and writing. She also co-produced and stared in two professionally shot music videos, one of which won Best Music Video Concept of the year, for the LA Music Awards. The Los Angeles Music Awards boasts other accomplished alumni, including No Doubt, Sugar Ray and over many other artists who have gone on to secure record contracts. Amanda was accepted into USC's Thornton School of Music as a Music Industry major. Amanda has performed in Los Angles clubs, has appeared as an opening act for other signed artists and is coming up on her 2nd tour this May-June 2009. Her second album, "From My Heart" was released March 2009. She had an amazing group of USC musicians perform on the album, and she produced it herself. This album was dedicated to the memory of Nicole Injayan, one of her childhood best friends that passed away in 2007. The album is filled with very personal, emotional songs about her experience with losing a friend. "Don't Leave Me Yet" is the single. Amanda's 3rd album, "Savory Second" will be released May 2009. She teamed up with producer Kevin Rivers, along with majority of the same musicians from USC. This album is a throw back to motown, in the same vein as Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Adele. The lyrics of this album are basically a renewed appreciation for life. "Love it for what its worth." You can watch a video blog of the making of the album below:
