About Me


i like writing music the best, especially lyrics. i think everyone should be allowed to make music as a way to express themselves without being ridiculed for not being "good." if it comes from your soul, then it's music. some people have painting, or poetry, or film-making. i think i've found my outlet...for now, anyway :)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 25/02/2008
Band Website: www.myspace.com/amaliah
Band Members: me, my guitars (caroline & johnny) and my keyboard (marques colston). computer microphone, tiny amp, left hand: short nails & callouses, right hand: long nails that keep breaking, my secret notebook of songs, a smile, and occasionally mr jinx as an audience in this makeshift recording studio on the floor of my bedroom.
Influences: movies, books, aestheticism, nature, life...
most of all, love, which makes the world go 'round.

february, 2004: the first time i saw john mayer in concert, i knew i had to play... and that was it.
november, 2007: the first time i heard sondre lerche, i thought, 'finally! THIS is the type of music i've always wanted to make!!'
jack johnson, jason mraz, madeleine peyroux, mason jennings, coldplay, matt costa, tristan prettyman, the barenaked ladies, norah jones, ok go, jamie cullum, matchbox twenty, regina spektor, the shins, ingrid michaelson, and far too many others to name have all changed how i see music in some way.

Sounds Like: alley cats at 3am.

Record Label: unsigned, and probably always will be.
