About Me

amy maja is a singer songwriter/artist living in portland,or. amy grew up listening to joni mitchell and believed joni to be her "music momma"...the melodies, rhythms & words of women have guided her down the path of songwriting. at age 17 she was accepted to berklee college of music in boston, mass. where she wrote her first song, becoming her immediate passion.when she is not writing music as a means to express her creativity, she is creating oil pastel paintings on cardboard. as a mother of 4, she has taken some time away from the music scene, but plans to release her album "when she..."later this year.
