About Me

She is not just singing a great song about a difficult subject, she is telling a story and lets you feel and participate in what it all means to her in a way only great musicians can do. Beware! A truly addictive voice.”Now Amanda has more good news! She was a WINNER at the 22 November 2007 Music Oz Awards: For “Best Live Artist”. Rising star, Amanda was also a finalist at last year’s Music Oz Awards in Blues and World Music.In addition, Amanda’s album cover and t-shirts, also creatively photographed and designed by Denson Baker are finalists in the annual Independent Music Awards (IMA USA) for Best Album Artwork and Best Swag (Merchandise).Independent singer/songwriter Amanda Baker has been described as a “diva” due to her soulful vocal style and command of the stage. Her trademark phrase “I’m not here to be a princess, I’m here to be the Queen” taken from her new single “The Queen”, is the slogan on her award-winning T-shirts.Amanda’s debut album, “Superstitious Woman”, released in 2007, features a range of strong blues, soul and gospel style songs written straight from her heart which tell stories about issues important to her like world violence, self-identity, drug addiction, love of music and life.------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------Fresh out of the cutting room 'Behind the Scenes" - Making of my award-winning music video' 'Addictions'.
