Amber is American, and someone that I respect a lot, considering she released all six of her albums independently. This is a really weird fact, but before music she was an apprentice in a chainsaw sculpting shop. Once she wanted to pursue music she taught herself to play the guitar and started singing in coffee shops. Not long after she started touring around the States, Europe and Japan. She's won a few songwriting competitions and had some pretty big names get interested in her work. She also was listed #16 on Music to Die For's Top 100 Favourite Female Vocalists of the Decade. Most fans originally found her on MySpace (blast from the past there) since she got featured on indie top 100's. Even with here solo career she is part of The Paper Raincoat which she founded with fellow songwriter Alex Wong. They've released two albums and had their songs featured in all kind of things. Her solo work is more personal, but all of it is brilliant so check out some more of her stuff.
Peace.
