Artist description Ethereal, acoustic guitar based songwriting and a hypnotic, haunting, voice are the prime elements behind Virginia's music. Combining folk influencedstorytelling with pop hooks and an acoustic ambient vibe gives Virginia'ssound a depth that is simultaneously dark, brooding and intelligent as wellas spiritually up-lifting and playful. At only 19 years old, her melodiesand insightful, emotional lyrics show that Virginia seems to have packedmore experience into a short period than many artists do by the time they're well established.Virginia, growing up in the Midwest, and after making a cross-country trek toCalifornia at the age of 14, knew she needed to break away and bring hermusic to the world. Two years later, after relocating to the East Coast,she began playing her music for enthusiastic crowds in New York and NewJersey coffeehouses, clubs and bars. After only a year of performing, shecaught the attention of more than a few indie labels and producers beforechoosing to work with Gig Records and the Amazing Meet Project members,Andres and Kristjan Karu and Michael FerentinoMeanwhile, Andres and Michael began revamping their Amazing Meet Project andafter working with Virginia, knew just what they needed to complete theirnew lineup. Virginia joined the AMP as a back-up vocalist and acousticguitarist, while continually developing her own music as well. Virginia'sdebut album, slated for release in early 2000, will be followed by a tourwith AMP as both a solo artist and as a member of the band.
