Amanda does not claim a particular genre of music, and in doing so enjoys variety in her music and audiences. After attending Winona State University she began a more intentional look at returning to music after her nephew was diagnosed with leukemia, and passed away soon after. Amanda wrote some songs from the experience and released, "Embrace" in 2012. Currently, her "Better Life" EP is set to be her most poignant work yet; taking her almost 2 years to complete. As a solo artist and a part of a women's contemporary folk band called Wildflower; she is a performer not to be missed.
