AMANDA HOLLEY
The Singer, The Artist, The StoryPop/R&B/SoulMusic is in Amanda's blood. It has been said that she sang even before she could speak. Her voice could sometimes be heard from the rooftops of Newark, NJ where she would dwell for some months of her infancy with her musical mother & her guitar strumming father. From the age of two, Amanda has been a violinist and self taught pianist and an actress since age 7 performing in leading roles over a dozen times Off B’Way as a child and teenager and in indie films and is a member of the AEA.
From age 8, Amanda was mentored and trained by Tony & Emmy winning actors and began training her voice with Juilliard Prep Professors at age 10 which would prepare her for her development as a music artist collaborating with and being developed by Oscar and Grammy winning producers and composers. The multi-ethnic, bi racial (African American, Italian, Cherokee, Egyptian) Amanda Holley practically lived in the orchestra pit while her mother (Manhattan School of Music) would play some of the greatest musicals and symphonies ever written on her cello. Amanda’s father, Gregory Clarke Holley, wrote songs for Sarah Vaughan, and her aunt Pat Holley (JUILLIARD), is a songwriter & arranger who discovered, trained, and wrote for Stephanie Mills. Amanda’s lyrical talents stem from her outstanding poetic voice which earned her multiple awards, scholarships, and publications with Columbia Press at the ages of 16-18. As a 15 year old, Amanda began training major recording artists for Motown and Sony A&Rs and by age 16, Miss Holley began training Multi - Grammy winner Lauryn Hill for two consecutive years multiple days each week and helped her rehabilitate her voice.Amanda engrossed herself in music day in and day out, surviving on Whitney, Mariah, Aretha, Ella, and Billie's healing and inspiring vocals to get through troubled times.
