"Amber, you don't just think out of the box...
You don't even know where the box is."

i don't really have the attention span to write a biography. patience is not my virtue & i get distracted easily. i write when i feel. when something is wrong. when something is right. i guess thats how all this started. i've always been a writer. i would write poems. or little lyrics. "hooks." when i was 19 i went out to a store and bought a cheap guitar and just tried to teach myself the basic major chords. however, i needed some help. i found out that a boy down the street was learning how to play guitar from a guy, dennis ledford - who is a guitar & bass player in many bands around town. i got in touch with him, and we developed this vibe. we make an amazing team & have developed an amazing friendship. i don't play guitar like anyone else. i don't play covers - and i don't really want to. i finger pick & slap the strings. it's not the normal way - but it's my way. the first song i ever wrote was "dream on." i remember recording it on GarageBand - it got so many plays i wanted to go into a studio & record it professionally and then one song turned into a 6 song EP, "take Note." i still record songs on GarageBand all the time & i always have a work in progress.
i am not perfect at anything i do. you find perfection in imperfections. i'm not the best singer or guitar player - but it's my own style. it's who i am. and as long as i have something to say, i'm gonna keep on. i don't need much in life. i have an amazing family. awesome friends. all a girl like me needs is a guitar, notebook & pencil, and a roof over her head when it rains.

"It's always refreshing and worthwhile to discover new talent around the world, especially with the advent of social networks like Myspace and Youtube. I've been fortunate to “find†new artrists and American singer-songwriter Amber Adair is one such artist who looks capable of a strong recording career. She has a uniquely passionate voice the songs on this EP, displaying a rare sensibility, and brimming with free spirit and thought-provoking lyrics. Listeners will feel different moods and will think about what they've just heard. I look forward to much more from Amber as she develops further."
