Artist History "I started singing at church and people started asking me to sing at their weddings, which I did. It became too much for me to continuously meet with potential wedding clients, so I made a demo at Bullet Records and the man in charge of Bullet Records asked if we could work on some original songs.... and the rest is history." Amanda's debut album, "In Your Eyes" brought her voice to the world. Her latest, soon-to-be-released offering is called "The Woman This Girl Is Going To Be." It's an album she's proud of... and she ought to be, for over half the songs come straight from her pen, her debut as a songwriter.
