Amanda Shane

About Me

.. ...Amanda Shane was born to sing, with a natural ability to hear music with a phenomenally critical ear. Her first influence was her mother, who was an accomplished pianist and a music teacher. She learned to dissect and imitate melodies and harmonies, at an incredibly young age. That, and being a member of countless elite classical and gospel choirs in high school and college, made her a master at backgrounds and a jack of all parts, as she has an extremely broad soprano range, challenging the likes of some of her other influences: Amel Larreiux, Minnie Ripperton, and Deneise Williams. On the low end, she is comparable to Toni Braxton, Angela Winbush, and Anita Baker. Nevertheless, she maintains her own unique sound and has been referred to, as a "vocal chameleon," in her ability to change her tone and delivery with ease. Additionally, she is an excellent songwriter. Her admiration of artists/songwriters like, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and Mariah Carey, inspired her to begin writing.She got her start writing commercial jingles for radio and TV. Later on, she parlayed into songwriting and has succeeded in writing, not only R&B, but House, and Pop songs, for herself and others, as well. Just recently, she co-wrote "Superstar" on 'The Chicago LP' album, which is up for a Grammy nomination. She also co-wrote, House music hit, "Touch Me," performed by artist, Eha, which won second place recognition in Billboard Music's World Song Contest. She has worked with many producers and artists, both up and coming, and well-established, such as Cristina Milian, and Romi, and has won their respect. She is featured on a spectrum of projects from, Ramsey Lewis's jazz album, "Urban Knights V," to rapper, Rhymefest's new album, "Blue Collar." She has also produced vocal arrangements, for countless artists, and producers as well. Her most recent song, "I Really Want You," is coming out soon, and will be featured at the Winter Music Conference in Miami. She is a musical force with whom to be reckoned, (and with whom to be worked).
