episode 8: Amanda Brown on songwriting, touring with Alicia Keys, and The Voice
Born and raised in a Christian family in New York City, Amanda Brown was influenced mostly by gospel music until her time at the highly prestigious LaGuardia Arts High School. After a brief stint at Howard University, she decided to pursue music full time and soon found herself on tour singing backup for Alicia Keys. Three years on the road and she was ready to pave her own path. Singing in late-night clubs in NYC she earned her chops as a performer and decided to audition for season 3 of The Voice.
In this episode of the Songfacts Podcast, we get a behind-the-scenes look at her time on the show, including the day-to-day workflow and the nerves she had leading up to her stellar performance of Aerosmith's "Dream On."
Since placing fifth on the show, Amanda has released the album Dirty Water, toured with Adele, and is set to release a new EP and the single, "From Here," at the end of October.
