As a vocalist, Amanda's talent has brought her onto stages across America. She has performed at renowned venues such as the OSPAC Theater and the Cotton Club, where she was the youngest artist ever on stage. She has sung the National Anthem at nationally televised events for the New Jersey Nets and HBO Boxing. At the ages of nine, ten, and eleven, she won first-place in the Solo Vocalist category for three consecutive years in the Star Power National Talent competition. She has twice won the Future Stars Competition at the famous Apollo Theater, bringing her no small amount of attention from within the industry. For example, “There is something special about the way Amanda holds herself when she hits her notes and uses her voice,” remarked Billy Mitchell, life-long Apollo Theater stage hand and now Tour Director. “It’s a type of poise I haven’t seen since Ella Fitzgerald.”
