Artist History Plays the club circuit in L.A. Draws great crowds!!Amanda Hayley BioBorn in Sydney Austrailia and raised in Toronto Canada, Amanda Hayley started playing guitar when she was about 11. Moving to Los Angeles at a young age Amanda attended boarding schools in the mountain areas around L.A. They had acoustic guitars there for people to play, thank god because she would have gone nuts- she says. She performed her songs for the kids. A lot of the kids there were drug addicts trying to get straight, or runaways or had got into trouble with the law. From this humble begining, Amanda has become a brilliantly expressive song writer that can capture the spirit of love and transpose it into a tapestry of beautiful music that can both comfort and enlighten.Over the years she played in several Los Angeles bands, wrote a few themes songs for television and wrote and performed a feature film Sound Track Called Children of the Night with Daivd Carradine starring, and sang on many top selling albums including Brenda Russells Soul Talkin.Now teamed up with producer Brion James (Baby Face, EnVouge,Total,Immature) she has continued to write and perform some of her best songs. Music is the truest form of expression for her. She says, I love to write songs, it definately is a relationship I have with myself, a connection to a deeper part of me that loves, thats searching, that is expressing life through song, revealing and vocalizing feelings musically is such a rush. And its fun. Amanda' s guitar playing style has been likened to early Joni Mitchell or Neil Young. She brings a fresh and exciting new twist on some traditional styles and a vocal sound that is simply angelic. Destined to be a major force in music, its understandable that record labels have expressed great interest. Listen in and catch a wonderful talent on the rise!
