Who is Amanda Emblem?

​

She’s recorded with Eagle Rock frontman Ross Wilson, and Blues Legend Matt Taylor, and was invited onstage with Chain at Byron Bay Bluesfest in 2018. A Forces Entertainment Artist, she flies to dangerous overseas locations to entertain Australian Troops.  She has opened for Kiss, Motley Crue and Aerosmith…  Who Is Amanda Emblem?

​

The voice behind "The Amanda Emblem Experiment" is an Australian musician who has successful navigated a lifetime of music achievements from mostly behind the scenes. A songwriter and story teller at heart. The creative path has led her to work with Australian Legends, Matt Taylor (Chain) and Ross Wilson (Daddy Cool/Mondo Rock) and David Lowy (The Dead Daisies), fronting bands on bass guitar with Kaleidoscope (1998 - 2005) Legless (2003 - 2013) Diva Demolition (2012 - 2017) Team Utiopia (2017-19). 

​

Akademia Artist of the Year in 2019, the recent Award comes after a year of accolades for the single "No-One's Perfect... Even You" which won best folk song in March 2019. The single proved particularly popular, getting worldwide coverage on the international networks.  

​

To call Amanda a Folk Singer/Songwriter is not giving you the big picture. Although well earned, the title of Akademia Artist of the Year doesn't take into account the years of writing and performing blues, rock, garage punk and indie pop.
