Gifted Adult Contemporary/Jazz Singer Songwriter

It all started with a phone call from Michael Buble`…two years later Amanda Wood is about to release her first International Album, "On My Way To You." Listening to Amanda sing brings to mind the subtle whispers of Norah Jones and the powerhouse entertainment of Michael Buble. Her music is a beautiful balance of power and emotion, standards and originals, all coming together in an Adult Contemporary -Jazz style. Her music is perfect for an International 'cross over' market appealing to a 25+ demographic. If you're looking for a spot in your record collection, Amanda's album fits perfectly between Diana Krall and Michael Buble.

Amanda has worked hard for years developing her voice, stage presence and songwriting. After being offered a record deal with terms that she wasn't comfortable with, Amanda was thrilled to receive personal advice from Buble encouraging her to be brave and do whatever it takes to fulfill her vision. Amanda turned down the deal and turned instead towards one of her biggest fans…a Canadian NHL player who together with his wife offered to invest and fund the new album. Amanda reflects that, "Buble had said that my voice was great, I just needed a few lucky stars to align and a lot of hard work…he said "Go for it and don't look back!" Buble's phone call and her investors were the lucky stars she needed. Amanda jokes, "Who knew hockey and jazz mixed so well? It must be a Canadian thing."

Amanda partnered with the award winning Miles Black to co-produce and co-arrange her dream album. Miles also contributed two original songs to the album co-written by his writing partner Glenda Rae. "Working on this album with Amanda has been a pure joy. Not one to sit back and watch from the sidelines, this amazing young lady was actively involved in every step of the creative process. She approaches all aspects of music making with a strong sense of faith and wonderment, always respectful and inspired." – Miles Black - Award winning producer, musician, composer and arranger
