Amanda Walker

Hey! Thanks for checking out my page- hope you enjoy the songs I've posted :) I've been writing music and playing the piano pretty much all my life. Most of the music I write is loosely based on real life. My influences are all over the map, so I have no idea where to even begin. I grew up in Dexter, Missouri, a small, rural town between St. Louis and Memphis. My mother, a pianist, taught piano in our living room from the time I was born, so that's how I learned to play. And just continued playing and writing music. In 2003, I moved down to New Orleans for school and later decided to dive into the amazing NOLA music scene. My CD is available through the Rabadash Records label- go to www.rabadash.com and pick one up! Or download it right here. It's also available on Itunes.
"Amanda Walker's new self-titled CD on the local Rabadash Records is an intimate, bewitching collection of original songs that feature Walker's dramatic voice alone with her piano" - Keith Spera, The Times Picayune.
"From the mold of Anna Nalick and Alanis Morrissette comes the debut cd from Amanda Walker, a collection of more than a dozen heartfelt tracks. With the simplicity of the instrumentation, which consists of merely piano and vocals, one might falsely presume that this offering lacks variety. Like all talented singer/ songwriters of the genre, Walker leaves the door to her heart ajar and lets her listeners peer inside, exposing her flaws, joys, inspirations, and heartaches. The diversity, therefore, comes from the multiplicity of perspectives through which we view her existance through these engaging vignettes. This promising debut gives the impression of a young artist from a small Missouri town with her eyes open wide to a world of exploration, basking in the wonder of it all and absorbing each and every one of life's distinctive episodes." - Craig Cortello, Where Y'at Magazine
"This debut album of original songs by songwriter/performer Amanda Walker has a quality of innocence, of diary writing put to music. Her voice is soft and sweet as she journeys through emotional landscapes filled with big dreams, lessons learned from love and growing pains. Walker has good intentions and the music holds a pretty promise that she sincerely keeps song after song." - Ruby Masters, OffBeat Magazine
